Homes

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.
Multi-family dwelling: Create a Home for occupants, rooms and devices located in one part of a dwelling and another Home for occupants, rooms and devices located in another part of the dwelling.

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.
