App account
The first time you use the app, you must register an account using your mobile phone number or an e-mail address, plus a password.
When you create your account, a country code is set based on your location.
Using your account, you can become a member of one or more Homes (see the next heading Data stores). You can operate any devices that belong to the Home, from any location that has Internet access, using any compatible mobile phone that has the app installed.
Data stores
Home and account data is assigned to one of several data stores, depending on the country code selected at registration, and the country code of the user who creates a Home. These data stores are independent from each other. The major data centres are:
-
China
-
Europe
-
United States of America
-
India
For more information, refer to the country table Data centre.
