I setup Geo fencing on my phone (my ID) and my wifes phone (her ID via the Grant Access invite) but not on our tablets where I also installed the app under my ID.  So far this is all working great.  What I would like to do now is Grant Access to a few family members but I would preffer not to give them view rights to any of the cameras, I would just like to be able to invite them to participate in the Geo fence setup so if my wife and I are on vacation and the family members come to check on the house their phones will automatically disarm the cameras when they arrive and arm them when they leave, hopefully logging that somewhere.

Terk,

 

An interesting use case. Currently, to do this, you would need to allow access to at least one device on your account in order for this to work. The Grant Access feature does not allow sharing unless at least one device is selected within Grant Access settings.

Yeah, I am hoping that can be changed in a future release so people can be added to the Geofence but not have access to any cameras.  Occasionally my Mom, or my wife's sister will stay with us and while I can change to a schedule when someone is staying with us for an extended time I would rather be able to add them to the Geofence so that anytime noone is home it will arm rather than just at a certain time that the schedule dictates.

 

Thanks.
