It does matter,  
You can’t add a second account with the same email as yours,  
in that case you don’t add family but log on to their phone with your account…  
giving everything out to their hands.

It will l be lonely in Homey. (don’t knowing who is home, who is asleep…)

> Every person (user) should have an own Athom-account, you can share credentials but that’s not the purpose. (fe using presence)
