Is it possible to plug multiple input devices (cable box, chromecast, ps4 etc) into this and switch between them from the app (or hopefully some kind of api call)?
If so this could also fall in the lines of home automation if looked at as a way to make switching between devices easier.
Either way I like the whole George Orwell theme you have, a big brother system for kids may not be a bad idea.
@johnson3650 The Screen box can support up to 3 HDMI devices. The Screen app can remotely access the box and control any of the plugged in devices that is in use. @screenNow getScreen.com/details shows that

@taliorad@screennow What about some kind of REST API? any chances of that? I love this idea, but I also love voice control.
Do they offer bundle deals for multiple TVs? I like the idea of time limits but in my household the time spent is not the primary problem, but rather content. I put Koalasafe in, which does a good job at time limits and white/blacklisting, but streaming services as not managed at the wifi access point level outside of simply providing access. Parental controls in streaming services and at the device level don't give you, the parent, log file data that can be analyzed. Also worth noting is that Apple's parental controls are totally unmanageable, I simply gave up after the 134th "enter your itunes password" prompt.
Right now, if you pre-order more than one, they will work together from a single remote app.
@jeff_nolan , I feel your pain with finding Parental content controls that work! I had the same problem - which is part of why I created Screen! Right now, Screen shares a snapshot of what’s currently on the device screen as well as the apps that runs in the background, of any connected device. We offer you as a parent access to see logs, on our road map is content blockers.
Light on details about how the apps work. I'll buy one once they make the details available. Is it MDM? If so awesome, otherwise is this some kind of wi-fi hotspot that does filtering of devices? Is there some kind of exception system I can activate so the adults can override the limits when watching their own shows? The success of this product will entirely depend on these kinds of details imho.
@arlogilbert Yes, it is. We built our own MDM server. The rules for all devices are very flexible and can be amended from the remote app. For example, a parent can add or subtract 15 minutes to any device, or swipe to override rules and immediately turn on - or -off any device. And, we also support TV’s whether they are connected or not, by managing the HDMI connected devices. @screenNow
@aramiggs Yes, I agree we’re using technology to manage, well, technology. But the happy outcome is devices actually get unplugged. And that just might end with a face-to-face conversation ;)
interesting. Today i submitted OurPact on PH which does something comparable but without the need of hardware. i tried and it works https://www.producthunt.com/tech...
@ourielohayon@screenNow is the only full solution for managing kids device. Computers, iOS devices, Android devices, & also TV, game consoles, and other streaming devices. check it out and lmk what you think getScreen.com
Screen is a home automation system that allows parents to set usage limits on a variety of different electronic devices. "In addition to phones, tablets and computers (which you might expect), screen also includes the TV, game system and streaming devices like Roku or Apple TV."
You can pre-order the hardware component for $99 — ships this summer.
