Q&A for the Home Sharing Function

Q: Can I only share some of the devices in the Home with others?

A: No. Currently, when we are about to share a Home with others, all the devices under this Home will be shared.

Q: Why the function is different between My Home and Shared Home?

A: We are the owner of the devices in My Home while we are the invitees ( users ) in Shared Home. We have different authorization under different roles. For more information, please refer to the article below.
