Possible to automate pausing/unpausing device on Google Wifi?

[watkins250ok]

I want to be able to pause/unpause a specific device via IFTTT. It looks like this was once an option, as I found an applet that does this, but the wifi action is no longer available: https://ifttt.com/applets/HMqWVpAm-pause-wifi-connection-to-your-kid-s-ipad-when-it-s-dinner-time-us....

IFTTT and some similar platforms do offer sending a webhook request as an action, and this would work for me; is there a way to send a webhook request to pause or unpause a device on Google Wifi? Or is it just not possible (other than using the Home app's scheduling feature) to automate the pausing and unpausing of a device?

Hey @watkins250ok .

The desired actions you are referring to is directly possible with Family Wifi  and scheduling. This article walks you through setting it up: Pause the internet on demand or on a schedule .

As far as third-party apps, it is unnecessary since the functionality is built directly into the Google Home app.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
