Parental Controls - Need solution for limiting children's access time

I am certain my wife and I are not alone in this regard.  I am a long time user of Voxe's firmware - never any issues!  My search for a solution to meet our needs has identified the "bypass account" in NG's Genie Live Parental Controls as described in this url:

The "Bypass Account" does not get reviewed well.  This is why I am posting our need for a solution here.   Note each device requiring WiFi access are required to install the NG Genie software/app and create a bypass account.  Does anyone have suggestions for better options?

In general, the Genie LPC work fine.  We have used these to protect our children since I purchased the R7800 in early 2018.  I have found that the manual in not perfect and you are required to work with the Genie software and the manual to obtain the desired result.  This may be all that is required to make the bypass account work as well.  I do not yet know and will be working toward this goal soon.
