I am a builder using Homey for home automation. I am trying to associate 2 separate Homeys in 2 separate locations with 2 separate accounts. The related email name and password are the same for both accounts. If I change one account the other accounts follow. Any suggestions ---

I don’t know how you managed to create two accounts with one email address. AFAIK you can create max. one account with one unique email address, so imho you’d have to create another account with an other email address. When you invite the second account as user with ‘manager’ rights, you can do almost the same things as the account with owner rights. You’ll have to login as owner only [for managing users and system updates](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360012615814-Adding-managing-removing-user-accounts-on-Homey) So, like this: Homey\_1: owner = user\_1 Homey\_2: owner = user\_2 Homey\_1: invite user\_2 as manager Homey\_2: invite user\_1 as manager Now user\_1 (or user\_2) can operate both Homey’s. ---

I am trying to separate the accounts. I do not want user 1 to operate user 2 homey. When I created the accounts, I used different emails. When I go to the acount settings in either account the wetting are the same. If I change one account, the other account changes. ---

If I click on the my account tab in either account the same name, email, show up. I link alexa and recognize devices on one account, the other account says itsl linked, but no devices are discovered. ---

You cannot have two accounts with the same e-mailadres. As how would you or the system distinguish between the two. So it might look you have two entries in the accountlist, but they are stil the same. In order to know which Homey is linked to the account, give your Homey’s distinct names. For more clarifications, just share a print screen showing the two accounts. ---

Maybe you can share your solution, so we all can learn from it. This is a community forum, not a helpdesk 😁 ---
