Adding, managing & removing user accounts on Homey

With Homey, you can create accounts for all your smart home's users. This is great because you don’t have to share your own account or password. It also allows you to manage and control who has access.

Note: Only the Owner of a Homey can manage other types of user accounts.

The advantages of using accounts

Homey lets you make use of having one account per user. This offers a lot of advantages:

• You can manage multiple Homeys with a single login.
• Owners can add and revoke access easily, allowing temporary access.
• Sharing your Wi-Fi password does not let people access your Homey.
• You can log in from anywhere around the world, the same way you do so at home.

Adding a new user to Homey

1. Open the Homey app and navigate to Settings → Family & Guests → the + symbol in the top right corner → Select Role → Share Invitation.
2. You can share this link via your phone's apps, like WhatsApp, Mail, or direct message. 

Tip: If you don't receive or can't accept the invitation, please turn off all
adblocking services on the device accepting the invitation.

Managing and revoking access

1. Go to Settings → Family & Guests to view all accounts that have access to your Homey.
2. To permanently revoke or temporarily disable access, use the Remove User and Disable toggle respectively.
3. As owner you can change the role of other users at any given time.

Tip: You can temporarily disable guest users in a Flow.

Roles & Permissions

There are four roles a user can have: Owner, Manager, Resident, or Guest. Only one user can be the Owner of Homey at the same time.
