Does anyone think this could be done? Could I time how much TV has been watched, seeing as Kodi sends playing updates to HA? Can I then send a STOP command back somehow?
You can create a history stats sensor to time how long the TV has been on today and trigger off that:
And yes all media players have a stop service.
Great that looks a good start. Does Kodi send anything about what its playing? Music/TV/Film? Genre and so on?

That looks good, just a shame it doesn’t send the genre of the TV that’s being watched, otherwise it would block me watching too much TV as well haha. Need to filter for “kids” somehow. I suppose it’d be an imdb lookup then?
This seems to work, in that it gives you how many hours of TV have been watched.
sensor:
- platform: history_stats
name: TV ON today
entity_id: media_player.server
state: "playing"
type: time
start: "{{ today_at() }}"
end: "{{ now() }}"
Stops anyone not just the kids watching too much telly.
