4 months ago I was poking at the base python module code and see it already has the ability to get pending requests, and to approve pending requests (with a variable number of seconds).
Can this integration be extended to:
- Check for pending requests in the update interval loop (looks like every minute). As noted this can be exposed via a sensor (such as pending request boolean).
- Provide a way to manually trigger an update. This can be helpful when the kiddos run out of time at some critical moment in the game (I need to save! I am a about die!). They will request, and urgently ask for more time. I'd like a way to not have to wait for up to 1 minute before I can process the request.
- Provide a way to approve/deny the request. This is probably best done with a service.
Thanks!

Additional context
I use Microsoft's Family Safety to manage my kids screen time. Although they are on a established schedule, there are many times when additional time is needed. This process involves requesting time on their computers when it runs out, opening the Family Safety iOS app, opening the notification, and selecting how much additional time to grant.
Ideally, the need for the Family Safety iOS app could be eliminated through use of this integration. Signaling a screen time request (event, boolean change, etc.) would allow for creating an actionable notification to grant additional screen time with one click.
