Invite people and manage home access

Invite someone on iOS or Android

Use the People screen to add a person to your home. A Resident does not see People, and opening People by a direct link explains that the owner manages people.

1. Open Settings, then People, then Invite someone.PeopleInvite someone
2. Enter Their email.
3. Choose What they are.
4. If you choose Guest, select the stay length offered.
5. If access should require the home network, turn on Only while on the home's Wi-Fi in the Only while they are here card.
6. Select the discovered phone. Sending is unavailable until that phone is selected.
7. Choose Send the invitation. Only while on the home's Wi-Fi must appear exactly as shown in this step.

Invite someone on web

On web, the same home access task is available from People. You can add a person, choose their level, and set the home and stay fields where they appear.

1. Open People and choose Add a person.People
2. Enter Email and Name.
3. Choose Level.
4. Choose Home where offered.
5. If the person is a Guest, complete the check-in and check-out fields that appear for that role.
6. If network presence is required, select the phone.
7. Submit with Add or Add the guest as displayed.

What happens after you send it

An existing ALYT account is added immediately. If the email does not already have an ALYT account, the person receives a single-use invitation link that is valid for seven days. Opening the link lets them review and accept the invitation.

If a send fails or times out, that does not prove nothing was sent. Check People before you try again.

Review, resend, withdraw, or remove access

Use People to review the people in your home. Use only the role, stay, and network controls offered for that person.

1. Open Settings, then People.People
2. Select the person or invitation you want to change.
3. Review the current role, stay, and network settings before making any change.
4. For a pending invitation on web, use Send a new link or Withdraw from Past invitations when shown.
5. Before removing someone, read the removal confirmation and then confirm the removal only if you want their access to end.

What you should see afterwards

• The person appears in the People list with the role you chose, or as a pending invitation until they accept.
• A Guest shows the stay limit you set.
• If Only while on the home's Wi-Fi is enabled, the chosen phone is shown for that person.
• Web shows Add a person, and mobile shows Invite someone in the maintained workflow.

Troubleshooting

If People is missing on mobile, you are probably not the owner. A Resident does not see People.

If the send button stays unavailable on iPhone or Android, select the phone first when Only while on the home's Wi-Fi is turned on.

If the required phone is missing, check that the phone is on the home network. Do not choose a different person’s phone.

If a link seems expired or withdrawn, review People before you send another invitation.

If you cannot remove yourself, that is expected. The owner manages access, and self-removal is not available.
