Working with home
Create a home, add rooms to represent the areas with devices,
and add home members.
In the app, a home defines a group of people, rooms and devices as a unit. Here are some examples:
-
Single-family dwelling: Create one home for all occupants, rooms and devices in the dwelling.
-
2nd Home: Create a home in a separate building on the same property for aged parents or teenagers.
A device can be added to only one home at a time. Once a device is added, only members of that home can control the device.
NOTE: A home administrator can share* a
device to a user who is not a member of the home. For example, share
the devices in a guest room with someone who is staying for a short
time.
* Some device types cannot be shared. In such situations, advice is provided in the app.
A person can be a member of multiple homes and operate any device that has been added to one of those homes.
