My wife and I use the Kasa app ver 3.2.0 installed on each of our phones. How can we share this app with people who visit for a couple of days. I would like to be able to share the app with them so they can control the lights in the rooms they stay in. I didn't see a way to easily give them temporary access and had to install the app on their phone and use my login credentials.

What is the best way to handle temporary access for others?

 

Thanks,

Jerry

  @JerryInTellico I've been trying to figure out how to add my wife so she can access the environment I've already set up.  Does she have to download the APP and use my login credentials? Or, does she set up her own account and then when she populates the address, will it give her the option to use my settings?

Hi,

The Kasa app does not support the feature to give temporary access to the phones logged in with the owner account. In this usage scenario, if you have an Amazon Echo device(such as an Echo Dot), you can set up the Kasa smart lights to work with the Echo device and turn on/off the smart lights by voice command.

Your wife can download the Kasa app and then log in with your account, and then she can control all your smart devices. 

 

Best Regards

  @danreilly39 My wife has the app installed and logs in using my credentials. She then has a copy of what I have so any devices I show or any Smart Actions I have setup are shown in her app.This works perfectly well.
