Hello everybody,
Thanks for this great implementation with Siri!
I encountered a limitation:
I shared the device that I registered on my account with others.
Users who have received the shared device cannot access functions and therefore cannot configure Siri to execute the command.
Is there any action I can do to fix this?

Hi there, please go to Profile - Manage Home to share the home with another account.
With Home sharing, your manual scene can be shared with others, then they can create Siri shortcuts on their own.

Hi, a shared home user cannot use the Siri function, Siri replies ‘it looks like you have not set up any home kit accessories’. Can shared users use Siri?

Hi there, to make the shared users can use Siri shortcuts, the admin account need to create manual scene first(only the manual scenes can be set as Siri shortcut). Then share the home with another account. To share your eWeLink home with other users, please refer to this article:https://appcms-src.coolkit.cn/extra/12459.html
