Choose what someone controls

Everyone in your home can have a different set of keys. You change them on one card, and their screen picks up the change within about a second, even mid-use.

The People list in Settings with Sofia's row highlighted; it reads Bedroom, Living Room, no locks, no cameras
You

Open their card

In Settings, under People & Devices, tap the person. Their row already sums up what they can reach.

Sofia's card with All dashboards off and each dashboard set to Off, View or Edit
You

Pick their dashboards

Leave All dashboards on, or switch it off and choose which dashboards they see, and whether they can edit them.

The Rooms section of Sofia's card with Whole home off and 2 rooms chosen in the picker
You

Pick their rooms

Turn off Whole home and pick rooms. Devices in the other rooms do not exist for them.

The Control section with Can control devices on and Door locks, Alarm, Cameras and Garage all off, above Access ends set to Never
You

Decide what they can switch

Can control devices lets them switch things; off means look only. Door locks, alarm, cameras and garage each have their own switch. Visiting for a week? Set Access ends.

You are done when

Their row in People & Devices lists the rooms and what is off limits, and their screen has already caught up. Tap Done to close the card. What each switch means, and the limits worth knowing, are in People & access.
