ipad homekit display lock hours

Is there any option to lock an iPad only at a certain time, for example over night?

I am using an iPad as Homekit display in "guided access" and would like that it would be locked over night, but no display locking during the day. Was hoping that there will be an option with "focus", but didn`t find anything.


Thanks,

Tino

Hello Tino,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


We understand you'd like to lock your iPad at night. We can provide some information.


The option to completely lock your iPad during the evening or another specific time isn't available. Guided Access and Focus may offer some ways to do this, but not for a specific time.


We'd welcome your input about this on our feedback page: Feedback - Home App - Apple

This is the best way to provide any input how this type of change would impact your use of your iPad and the HomeKit app.


Cheers.
