Intro
Family Sharing (Access Control) lets you decide who can see and control each accessory on your floorplan. You have three options for each accessory:- Everyone (no restrictions)
- Show to: only the selected people will see and control the accessory
- Hide from: the selected people won’t be able to see and control the accessory, but everyone else can
Set up Family Sharing for an accessory
- Enter edit mode (Settings, then “Edit Floorplan”).
- Tap an accessory on the floorplan or tap “Speakers & Media Players”.
- Scroll down to the “Family Sharing (or Access Control)” section
- Change the settings to your liking and save.
Admins will see all accessories when in edit mode. Family Sharing filters are applied after saving.
Inspiration: examples of Family Sharing / Access Control
If you’re using Zendo at home, you can:- Hide accessories from kids so they can control only their own room.
- Simplify your setup for guests by hiding accessories they don’t need to control (e.g., appliances, robot hoovers, etc.).
- Hide accessories from staff so they can control only their own workspace.
- Simplify your setup for visitors by hiding accessories they don’t need to control (e.g., security cameras, security systems, HVAC, etc.).
- Allow only admin staff to arm/disarm the security system or check the security cameras.
