I have a chromecast with google tv remote. My infant loves to play with the remote. How can I set up a childlock so that the remote stops working temporarily?
How I'd like this feature to work-
1. Hold some combination of buttons for a few seconds to be prompted for a pin to lock the remote
2. During the time it is locked, the buttons on the remote don't do anything and the tv keeps playing. Until the combination of buttons are held down, then a prompt to unlock with pin shows.
3. Enter the pin to unlock and the remote resumes normal functionality
Without this, I have to take it off the baby, remove a battery and give it back, remembering to hide the battery somewhere safe and memorable, and to replace it later...
Thanks!

Whilst that's not an available feature today, I think it's a great idea! This is mostly a user to user community, therefore if this is important to you, I’d encourage you to also send this feedback directly to Google. You will not receive a response, unless Google need more details from you, however the team are still reading the feedback.
