Add and manage user accounts on Homey

With Homey, everyone in your home gets their own account. No shared passwords, and you stay in control of who has access.

The advantages of using accounts

Homey lets you use a single account per user. This offers many advantages:

• You can manage multiple Homeys with a single login.
• Owners can easily add and revoke access, including 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 at home.

Worth knowing
Only the Homey Owner can manage other user accounts.
