Adding a User Accounts
- Open the Genesis Home App on your device
- Tap on the “Settings” tab
- Select “User Accounts”
- Tap on the “Add User” button
- Enter the email address and name of the new user

Removing a User Account

- Select “User Accounts”
- Find the user account you want to remove
- Tap on the “Delete” button next to the user account
- Confirm the deletion by tapping on “Delete” in the confirmation window
Note: Only the primary user account or an account with administrative privileges can add or remove user accounts. Additionally, removing a user account will also remove any devices or settings associated with that account.
Managing devices
To add a new device to your home, simply open the Genesis Home App and follow the on-screen prompts to connect the device to your home’s Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you can name the device, assign it to a specific room, and customize its settings to meet your needs.
To remove a device from your home, simply go to the device settings in the Genesis Home App and select “remove device”. This will remove the device from your home’s network and stop it from communicating with the app.
You can also update the settings and preferences for your devices through the Genesis Home App. For example, you can adjust the sensitivity settings on your security cameras, change the color and brightness of your smart lights, or set up automation rules to control your devices based on specific events or conditions.
Sharing Access
The Genesis Home App allows you to easily share access to your smart home system with friends, family, and other trusted individuals. This feature is especially useful for those who have multiple people living in the same home, or for those who want to give temporary access to guests or service providers.
Here’s how you can share access through the Genesis Home App:
Log into your Genesis Home App and navigate to the “Users” section.
Tap the “Add User” button and enter the email address of the person you want to share access with.
Choose the level of access you want to grant to the new user. You can choose to give them full control, or you can limit their access to specific devices or features.
The new user will receive an email with instructions on how to download and install the Genesis Home App and access your smart home system.
You can also manage and revoke access at any time by going back to the “Users” section and editing the permissions for each user.
It’s important to only share access with individuals you trust, as they will be able to control your smart home system and make changes to your settings.
Keeping track of activity
In the Genesis Home App, you can keep track of activity related to your smart home and devices. By monitoring activity, you can stay informed about what is happening in your home and make adjustments to your settings or preferences as needed. Here’s how you can keep track of activity in the Genesis Home App:
- View device activity: The Genesis Home App provides an overview of activity for each of your connected devices. You can see the status of each device and when it was last updated.
- Track security events: If you have security devices set up in your home, such as door locks or cameras, the Genesis Home App will show you a record of any security events that have taken place. This includes events like when a door was locked or unlocked, or when a camera was triggered.
- View notifications: The Genesis Home App sends you notifications when certain events occur in your home. For example, if a door is left open or a camera detects motion, you will receive a notification. You can view all of your notifications in the app and take action as needed.
- View history: The Genesis Home App provides a history of all activity in your home. You can view a timeline of events and see when each device was last updated or triggered. This is a useful tool for keeping track of activity over time and identifying trends or patterns.
By keeping track of activity in the Genesis Home App, you can stay informed about what is happening in your home and take action to keep your home secure and comfortable.
