I have the same problem solved for kid with coin dispenser and coin acceptor.
Coin acceptor is connected right to OpenWrt router via USB. Once you put a quarter, it turns on Internet for 30 more minutes.
Dispenser is connected to PC with the app where he has to solve (not very hard) math puzzles. When you reach the score of 10, the coin is getting dispensed.
Internet usage is down 2-3 times now, compared to what it was before.
Even if you have a router in another room with a single physical button attached via USB, you'll be lazy going to another room to turn the Internet on. Have a book by your place and you'll see how much you started reading.
Reach out if you need OpenWrt router hacking help.
- jfim 4y agoWow, that's a great idea, and it turns the Internet into a reward ("how can I use this limited resource effectively") as opposed to nonstop mindless scrolling. Is the router off for everyone when disabled or is it like an IP based block using the router's API to add and remove blocks on demand?
- RomanPushkin 4y agoThere are two WiFi networks pretty much - one for work (provided by Xfinity), another one is an OpenWrt router WiFi, which is connected by WiFi to Xfinity WiFi.
