It would be nice to be able to add users, which is not added by e-mail. I want to add my children without having them to install app on phone. I use Wifi to detect if they are home only, and i need the users for dashboard screen etc

There’s no need to install the app. Just a mailadress is sufficient…

An Homey user is synonym to an Athom account, they are one and the same, and you can’t create Athom accounts without an e-mail adres, and I believe it being an unique e-mail adres is mandatory.
You could create “fake” accounts, just create your own variables with “kid 1 home” as true/false variable, and “kid 1 asleep” if you also want to monitor sleep.
And just do that with every kid you have.
And then like you already do set that variable based on their Phone’s IP address (keep in mind of the phone being able to restart, thus losing WiFi, etc).

You can create some gmail accounts for them…

You could also use “plus addressing” if your mailprovider supports it.
See an explanation [HERE](https://kb.uconn.edu/space/IKB/10731880518/What+is+Plus+Email+Addressing+and+How+Do+I+Use+It%3F)
That way could register unique mailaddresses like:
[michael.nielsen+kidname1@gmail.com](mailto:michael.nielsen+kidname1@gmail.com)
[michael.nielsen+kidname2@gmail.com](mailto:michael.nielsen+kidname2@gmail.com)
[michael.nielsen+kidname3@gmail.com](mailto:michael.nielsen+kidname3@gmail.com)
etc.
Mail to those accounts is still delivered in the same mailbox [michael.nielsen@gmail.com](mailto:michael.nielsen@gmail.com).
