What Are Multiple Homes?

Multiple homes allow users to create and manage more than one home or location from the same Shelly account.

For example, a user can create separate homes for:

• Main residence
• Vacation property
• Office
• Garage or workshop
• Rental property
• Family member’s home

Each home has its own devices, rooms, scenes, and shared users.

How to Use Multiple Homes

To create or manage multiple homes:

1. Open My Homes.
2. Select Add home.
3. Create a new home or choose another available option.
4. Switch between homes from the home list.
5. Manage devices, rooms, and scenes inside the selected home.

What This Unlocks

Multiple Homes makes it easier to:

• Keep devices organized by location
• Avoid mixing devices from different places
• Manage scenes separately for each home
• Share only the correct home with another user
• Transfer a specific home without affecting the entire account

Transfer Homes

What Is Home Transfer?

Home transfer allows the owner of a home to transfer ownership to another Shelly account.

This is useful when:

• A property changes owner
• A device setup is handed over to another person
• An installer configures a home and then transfers it to the customer
• A family member or colleague needs to become the main owner
• Management responsibility changes

How to Transfer a Home

To transfer ownership:

1. Open My Homes.
2. Find the home you want to transfer.
3. Select the transfer option for that home.
4. Enter or select the Shelly account that should receive ownership.
5. Confirm the transfer.

After the transfer is completed, the receiving account becomes the owner of the home.

Important Notes

• Transferring a home changes ownership of that home.
• Only transfer a home to a trusted Shelly account.
• Devices, rooms, and scenes associated with the home remain part of that home.
  
  

Receive Home

What Does Receiving a Home Mean?

Receiving a home allows a user to accept ownership of a home transferred from another Shelly account.

This is useful when:

• A customer receives a configured home from an installer
• A family member transfers home ownership
• A company account transfers a home to an employee or property manager
• Ownership needs to move from one Shelly account to another

How to Receive a Home

To receive a home from another account:

1. Open My Homes.
2. Select Add home.
3. Choose From account.
4. Select the account profile that should own the home.
5. Continue the process and confirm the received home.

Once completed, the home appears in the receiving account’s home list.

Home Sharing

What Is Home Sharing?

Home Sharing allows a home owner to invite another user to access a home without transferring ownership.

This is useful for:

• Family members
• Guests
• Tenants
• Installers
• Support users
• Property managers
• Employees

The invited user can access the home using their own Shelly account.

How to Share a Home

To share access:

1. Open My Homes.
2. Select the home you want to share.
3. Go to Share Home Access.
4. Select Invite to Home.
5. Enter the user’s email address.
6. Choose the permissions for the invited user.
7. Send the invitation.

The invited user receives an email invitation to access the home.

Why Use Home Sharing Instead of Transfer?

Use Home Sharing when the owner should remain the same, but another person needs access.

Use Transfer Home only when ownership should move to another Shelly account.

Sharing Permissions

What Are Sharing Permissions?

Sharing permissions allow the home owner to control what invited users can do inside a shared home.

Permissions can define whether a shared user can:

• Control devices
• Change device settings
• Access rooms
• Run scenes
• Edit scenes
• Enable or disable scenes
• Manage selected parts of the home
  
  

Premium Subscription and Homes

With Home Management, premium subscriptions are handled per home and per account.

This means that premium access is connected to a specific home under a specific Shelly account.

Important Subscription Notes

• A premium subscription applies to the selected home and account.
• If a user manages multiple homes, premium features needс to be activated separately for each home.

Example

If a user has two homes:

• Home 1: Main residence
• Home 2: Vacation house

A premium subscription for Home 1 does not automatically mean Home 2 has premium access. Each home is managed separately.
