Member management: The function that is not a function - Hueblog.com

preview

Not usable so farIt is now more than a month since Philips Hue announced on 10 March within its in-house app that you can now manage access to your luminaires. Member management was activated. But this new function has no real function so far.In the settings for the respective home, you can find the corresponding area for management, but there is no indication of how you can add a new member. An invitation link, for example, as is standard in other smart home systems, cannot be sent from the Hue app.Currently, the status is as follows: If you are connected with a “foreign” account to the same WiFi network as the Bridge and add the account to the Bridge, which is only possible by pressing a button on the Bridge, you end up in the member list. New members are automatically classified as administrators and must then be manually downgraded by an existing admin to the status “lighting”.Even with this lower status, it is still possible to delete lamps and scenes or even entire rooms. Switches can also be configured or automations can be created and changed. There is no restriction of access rights so far. In principle, the function is completely useless.So far, the member administration does not offer any real functions. In my opinion, the following points would be essential:So there are still some construction sites Philips Hue has to work on. Why the member management in its current form was released at all is not explainable to me.Check your local Philips Hue Online Store for availability of Hue products in your country.&nbsp;There you will also find all the technical information and prices.Hue Wall Switch Module: Switch between scenes fasterPhilips Hue could introduce paid featuresHi Frederick, not sure I fully understand what you mean with “foreign” accounts. Maybe you can provide some step by step instructions?.Myself have been trying to add some family members for the past month unsuccessfully :(.Thanks in advance.Reply
