How to Share Your Home Access with Family Members

Here's an important question for you - how do you share access to your home with your family members?

If you have installed one of our igloohome digital lock, such as igloohome Deadbolt 2S digital lock on your front door—great choice! Now, you might be wondering how to share smart access with your family members. With igloohome, you have multiple options to grant access securely and conveniently.

1. Sharing Your igloohome Account for Full Control

If your partner or spouse wants the same level of access as you, the simplest way is to share your igloohome account. Each Deadbolt 2S digital lock is paired to a single account, which can be accessed on multiple smartphones simultaneously.

Since the igloohome app is cloud-based, logging in works just like email—you can access your account from different smart devices anytime, anywhere. Both you and your partner can create and manage PIN codes, generate Bluetooth keys, and even change the master PIN code when necessary.

2. Creating a Permanent PIN Code

If you prefer to keep admin control to yourself while still allowing access, you can generate a permanent PIN code or a time-limited one. This option is perfect for kids, as they can unlock the door using the PIN without needing a smartphone. Plus, they won’t have admin rights, ensuring they can't accidentally share access with unauthorized visitors.

3. Sharing a Bluetooth Key

For family members who prefer to use their smartphone for entry, you can issue a Bluetooth key through the igloohome app. This key can be set for a specific duration and shared via SMS, WhatsApp, email, or even a QR code if they’re nearby.

Once they receive the Bluetooth key, they can download the igloohome app on their own smartphone, create an account, and accept the key to gain entry. This allows them to use smart access while you retain full admin control.
