Your Family Hub's settings give you full control over how your device looks, behaves, and connects — all in one place! Your Settings page is organized into five tabs, and parents can manage them at any time, utilizing their PIN for certain settings. However, no PIN is required just to open the Settings page on your Hub.
To get there, tap the Settings gear icon within the navigation bar on your Family Hub.
WHAT WE'LL COVER
Device tab
The Device tab is where you manage everything related to your Family Hub's hardware and system behavior.
Brightness — drag the slider to adjust the screen brightness to your preference. Toggle "Auto dim" on and your Hub will automatically dim the screen when the room gets dark, helping it blend naturally into your home at night
Volume — drag the slider to adjust speaker volume. Toggle "Keyboard clicks" on or off depending on whether you’d like a little auditory feedback while typing
Mute Microphone — toggle this on to turn off the AI Voice assistant. When muted, the “Hey Greenlight" wake word will not trigger a response, so the AI assistant will only respond when you tap it, solely utilizing the AI text assistant feature.

WiFi — tap to view the list of networks available for your Family Hub and to connect to a new Wi-Fi network. For troubleshooting help, click here
Display preferences — tap to adjust:
- Time format: 12-hour or 24-hour (default: 12-hour)
- Timezone preference: Our Greenlight app and Family Hub are only available in the U.S., so only U.S. timezones are an option here
- Temperature: Fahrenheit or Celsius (default: Fahrenheit)
Assistant settings — tap to adjust your voice assistant preferences.
-
Assistant voice: choose the tone of voice you’d like your assistant to speak in and tap “Update”
- Georgia - Warm and soft-edged
- Goldie - Rich and reassuring
- Cash - Warm and relaxed
- Sterling - Bright and earnest
- Listen after responding: toggle this on if you’d like your assistant to listen for 3 seconds after it responds so you can reply. When off, you will have to say “Hey Greenlight” each time you want to ask a new question.
- Listening tone: toggle this on if you’d like your assistant to play a short tone as it starts listening so you know it heard you. When off, it starts listening silently
- ‘Hey Greenlight’ Wake Word: toggle this on if you’d like your assistant to wake up by saying “Hey Greenlight”. When off, you’ll just have to tap the microphone within the AI Assistant to start your conversation
System — tap to open the system panel, where you can:
- Check for and install software updates
- View your current software and firmware version and last updated date
- Check your battery level (10.1-inch model)
- Perform a “Factory reset”

Family tab
The Family tab is where you manage your household and family member information.
[Family Name] Family — tap to view and edit your household name. Your home address and Family Hub email address are shown here too, but they're read-only. You can update your address within your account settings in the Greenlight app.
Family Members — view all your family members and manage their profiles. For full steps, visit this article.
Permissions tab
The Permissions tab is where you will go to manage your Family Hub PIN settings.
Change PIN — Parents can tap to open a QR code you can scan with your mobile device to change your admin PIN in the Greenlight app. For everything about the PIN, visit How does the PIN work on Greenlight Family Hub?
Protected Actions — Parents can tap to set actions that require PIN input like viewing the Accounts page. Accessing this section will always require entering your PIN before you can make any changes.
Screen Saver tab
The Screen Saver tab controls your Family Hub’s Screen Saver settings. This is what and how your Hub displays when it's not actively being used.

Plans tab
The Plans tab shows your current Greenlight plan. Tap the QR code to scan with your mobile device and manage your plan in the Greenlight app — all plan changes happen there, not on the Hub. Click here for the full steps.
Help & Support tab
The Help & Support tab is your quick path to getting help whenever you need it:

- Get support — you can locate our Greenlight support team’s phone number and text number for help with all things Family Hub related and more!
