Will Nest wifi allow me to see device usage times?

Hello all I am looking to set up a mesh wifi system to expand coverage but I am curious if it will also allow me to see the date and time my kids devices are logging in and out of our wifi network.. is this even possible? 

Thank you in advance for any info!

There is a family wifi section that you can access to do various things , such as restrict usage times by device, block sites, etc.  There is also usage information by device as well.  Getting down to specifically when each device is logging in , no.  Saying this, most devices stay on wifi unless completely turned off.  

Gotcha, so I will be able to atleast block the devices during bedtime and it will log "if" any new devices sign into the network, I just will not be able to tell the exact time that they used it.  Would i be able to make sure they cannot remove any unknown devices from the log/list before I am able to see it and set usage times also? Wish there was a way to alert me so I could catch them in the act! 🙂 thanks for the info!

Yep just use the parental controls and make sure that their Google accounts are not managers / adult accounts but child accounts that cannot make system changes , you will be golden
