Add a “Family Member” function is not working! Any help please?

It’s got to be a domain issue. It’s attempting to resolve connect.athom-prod-useast1-001-shs.homeypro.net I’ve tried a name lookup from my network and also used dnschecker.org. Nothing can resolve this URL.

Good find, i didn’t expect the URL to be unresolvable.
Please report your findings to homey.app/support.

David, I posted the issue at Homey Slack channel the other day, and Athom replied they’ve located and fixed the issue.
Can you try again, @CarbonProp ?

I tried this both on Android and iOS, setup new account, invite sent over, link just opens the app and nothing happens.

I have a SHS, is adding users not supported on self hosted?

You can try logging in on a PC and accepting the invite there. The deeplink that the app uses doesn’t always work correctly.

Thank you, I was able to accept the invite in a web browser after disabling all tracking/adblocking protection.

Homey should update their guide to include this as a known issue with their mobile apps.

Hi,

(Officially) this is just a user forum. It’s best practice to contact Support to share your improvement suggestions.

I tried doing that. It seems for SHS users there is no option to contact support as I got the following after selecting the area where I got stuck:

So it seems for SHS there is no official support, just this community forum.

Edit: for Athom’s credit they do mention as a note in the documentation here to turn of adblockers however there is no suggestion to try to accept the invite in a desktop browser if the app fails. Also the app does not provide any feedback, at least in the browser I was seeing an error until I disabled the protections in Brave browser.

Select Mobile app or Web app.
Next click Contact Support.

Thanks, did not think of that. I had issues with the Family setup so I wanted to get support for that. Next time if I need help I’ll keep the above in mind.
