Hi all

I bought 2 Homey Bridge and they finally arrived after waiting 10 months.

I have one up and running, and I found the description on how to add another home.  
When going to “Add new Homey” and then “Setup Homey Bridge” then I get the error message “You have already created a home”.  
I need the two for two different summer houses.

How to solve this?

Kind regards, Claus

Add a new user with other email address, create a new Home with that, and then you can invite both accounts from both Homey’s as user type Manager. This way you can control both Homey Cloud + bridge setups  
_3.HomeyCloud …_ is my second cloud Homey, with a different owner, but all accounts are invited as user type ‘manager’ across the Homey’s and this way you can control them using the app _without changing accounts_:

The only differences in rights between owner and manager are:  
_Managing users_ and _System Updates_ can only be controlled by the owner. To do that, you’ll have to log in to the app with your other account.

But do you need 2 subscriptions, one for each account?

Yes, that’s exactly why you can’t add two homey (clouds) to one account. The homey premium subscription is linked to the user. One user = one subscription= one homey (cloud).
