Transferring ownership of your Homey Pro to another family member or guest is a significant step that can help streamline management and access to your smart home system. This feature is exclusive to the Homey Pro model and is not available for the newer, cloud-based Homey devices. If you’re planning to pass on the responsibilities of managing your Homey Pro, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth transition.
Step 1: Access the Family Settings
First, open the Homey app on your device. At the bottom of your screen, tap on the “More” option, represented by three dots (…). This section allows you to manage various settings related to your Homey Pro.
Step 2: Navigate to Family and Guests
Once you’re in the More menu, select the “Family and guests” option. This will take you to a screen where you can view and manage all the users who currently have access to your Homey Pro.
Step 3: Choose the New Owner
As the current owner, you’ll see a list of users who are connected to your Homey Pro. Tap on the name of the user to whom you want to transfer ownership. It’s important to double-check and make sure you select the correct person, as this action will give them full control over the Homey Pro.
Step 4: Transfer Ownership
After selecting the appropriate user, you will see an option to “Transfer ownership.” Tap on this option to initiate the transfer process. This is a crucial step and should be considered carefully, as it involves significant access privileges.
Step 5: Confirm the Transfer
Upon tapping “Transfer ownership,” a pop-up will appear asking you to confirm your decision. This is your final opportunity to cancel the process if you have any doubts. If you are certain, confirm the transfer by acknowledging the pop-up. Remember, once ownership has been transferred, only the new owner will have the ability to revert this process.
Final Note
Transferring ownership of a Homey Pro is an irreversible action from your end. Once completed, only the new owner can initiate any further ownership transfers. Therefore, it is essential to make sure that you are transferring ownership to a trusted family member or guest.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your Homey Pro’s management and control are smoothly passed on to the right person, aligning with your household’s evolving needs and dynamics.
