Set screen time limit
We have a three eero network and love having great WiFi all over the house! Also like your Family Profiles feature to ensure the kids are off devices in the evening and school day mornings. Our profiles keep the kids' devices off the Internet from 8 pm to 8 am, so our kids get sleep, and get ready for school on time.
However...
In addition, we'd like to ensure that our kids only have total of 90 minutes of screen time a day. This is in addition to our current rules of no Internet from 8 to 8. Is there a way to do this today? If not, could you please track this feature request?
Yes, I know you can manually pause the Internet from the eero app. But we can't exactly hover our kids with a stopwatch to track when they hit 90 minutes of Internet usage when we're driving, making dinner, etc.
Thanks.

I would like to see Circle features incorporated into Eero. I just moved to the Eero Pro 6 and the parental controls are buggy at best. Prior to Eero, I had Circle on my network for many years and it worked great. How long before Eero is going to have a more robust parental control toolset like Circle or Orbi?

I updated to eero Secure, their paid extortionware. Still sucks. Trying to block Youtube, it works on laptops, not phones. Completely inconsistent and high friction user experience. Overall Eero has been a big disappointment. Complete joke of a company. The actual hardware seems to work very well at providing a solid mess wifi blanket on my house, so I give the hardware much higher marks than my old LUMA system. But the software, payware, lack of development is completely out of sync with my expectations with Amazon acquiring the company.

I use to have a Luma wifi mesh network and it has this feature and I loved it. It tracked time by profile, so I could assign all my daughters devices to her profile and when she ran out of time in one she ran out on all. Luma got acquired and isnt really supported as a product any more sO I switched to Eero and this I believe is it’s biggest drawback.

Just wanted to bump up this suggestion -- some kind of "xx minutes per day across these categories" limit would be great. That would make it much easier to keep my kids' screen time in check while still giving them access to things like Google classroom and not having to do anything drastic like block YouTube entirely.
(Also, honestly, I could probably use this feature myself to get me off of Twitter.)

Jeff C. this has been under consideration for over 5yrs. It’s a relatively simple fix, and a feature which is much in demand and many of your competitors are already offering. It affects the welfare and wellbeing of future generations, and greatly assists parents who probably make up a significant proportion of your customer base. What gives???
