Secondary users are permanent family members who share ongoing smart home automation access — spouse, children, parents, live-in family. Each secondary user has their own login credentials but accesses the same home. Permissions are granular — who can edit scenes vs run them, who can modify schedules vs just activate them, who can add/remove devices. Simultaneous multi-user access works without session conflicts.

Hand over primary account control to a different user. Useful when the original account holder moves out, transfers ownership to a spouse, or passes the home to children. Primary access transfer requires verification from both the current primary and the target user. All devices, scenes, schedules, and permissions transfer intact.

Switch history shows who operated which switch, when, and from where. Tap any switch to see its activity log — “Bedroom Light ON by Priya at 7:15 AM, OFF by Priya at 7:45 AM, ON by Guest User (Maid) at 10:00 AM”. Useful for troubleshooting, accountability, and understanding household usage patterns without being intrusive.

Beakn smart home automation does not charge any subscription. All features are included in the device purchase price permanently. A family using Beakn for 10 years pays ₹0 in ongoing fees. Compare with typical brands charging ₹99–₹299/month for scene limits, voice control, or advanced automation — that’s ₹12,000–₹36,000 over 10 years per family.

Multiple family members can use the app simultaneously without session conflicts. Mother adjusts AC while father runs a scene. Son toggles a fan while daughter schedules lights. Generic Tuya-based apps often kick users out when another user logs in — Beakn doesn’t. Built from the ground up for multi-user households.

Remove a guest user’s access instantly without waiting for auto-expiry. Useful if a maid’s relationship ends, a service provider is no longer needed, or access was granted accidentally. Guest data and activity history remain in switch history for records. Access is cut immediately — their app no longer authenticates.

Your Beakn account settings — personal info, notification preferences, linked voice assistants, language preference, haptic feedback, font size, saved preferences. One profile across all your homes, with per-home overrides where relevant. Everything configurable in one place under Profile settings.

Manage home, office, parents’ house, vacation property, site office — all under one Beakn smart home automation account. The Home Page includes a home-switcher that changes contexts instantly. Each home has separate devices, scenes, schedules, and user permissions. Useful for families maintaining multiple properties or monitoring parents’ homes remotely.

Choose days precisely: all days, weekdays only, weekends only, or custom day combinations (Mon + Wed + Fri). Different routines for different days — work-from-home routine on Wednesdays, school morning routine Mon–Fri. Removes the need to manually enable/disable routines based on day-of-week.

Create new homes, join homes you’ve been invited to, edit existing homes, organise multiple properties. The Home Management section lists all your homes with device counts, last-active timestamps, and primary user indicators. Useful when expanding Beakn across multiple properties or joining a spouse’s pre-existing home setup.

Beyond the dropdown, the Home Page header shows the active home name with a chevron. Tap to see all your homes in a list with room counts and last-active timestamps. Switch in under a second. Useful when monitoring a remote property while sitting in another.
