Can I share access to my HomeKit devices with others?

Asked 2 months ago
Yes, Apple HomeKit allows users to share access to their smart home devices with others. This feature is particularly useful for families or roommates who want to control home automation together. To share access, the primary user must open the Home app on their device, navigate to the Home settings, and select the option to invite people. The primary user can input the Apple ID email addresses of the individuals they wish to invite. Once the invited individuals accept the invitation, they will gain access to control the HomeKit accessories, set up automations, and manage settings, depending on the level of access granted. It is important to note that the primary user retains overall control and can revoke access at any time. For detailed steps and information, the most current web page may provide additional guidance.
