Describe the bug

Kids phone with "screen time" restrictions.
Home Assistant is set to "always allow"
Upon opening the app, "screen time for is over"

Due to this, it is completely unusable. No other apps exhibit this problem where screen time is seeing it as a simple browser.

Adding the server address to the allow list makes zero difference.

To Reproduce

stated above

Expected behavior

When the app is "always allowed" in screen time, it should be possible to use it.

Additional context

[bgoncal]

Add your homeassostant URL's as allowed always websites.

[bgoncal]

Let me know in case it doesnt work either.

[dogmatic69]

I have already added the urls to the always allowed list and as was stated in the bug report. it makes zero difference. Both ip and domain, neither work

[bgoncal]

Apologies, misread and understood you have added only the App itself.

I have no clue why this happens, I'll try to find the root cause.

[dogmatic69]

I have tried various formats, it seems to strip the port (8123) always. Perhaps something to do with it?

The whole having to add a web address too is a bit wierd? I can understand it happening in chrome or safari, but why does it even know a certain address is in use. I've never had to unblock urls outside browsers.

[bgoncal]

On a quick test, I didn't need to allow anything else besides Home Assistant App, I wonder why for you is different.

It's possible due to Home Assistant running on local IP and not a well known URL linked to the App like Google maps and maps.google.com

I'm using duckdns.org domain. does your instance use port 8123 or 80/443? ssl?

[bgoncal]

Local IP uses 8123 (no SSL) and remote is Home Assistant Cloud
