Manage connected accounts

Connected accounts are optional. Keep only the accounts Homie should actually use for your home and personal brief.

Use this when a calendar is missing, an old account should stop being used, mail should disconnect, or one calendar should be excluded from briefs.

This is a practical page. It focuses on the controls a normal household member needs, not on how Homie is built.

Start from personal settings for member-owned accounts, or household settings for shared accounts and skills.

- Open personal Homie on the member's claimed phone.

- Open Settings and find Accounts or Connected accounts.

- Turn an account off when it should stay saved but not be used.

- Delete an account when it should be removed completely.

- Open calendar settings to choose which calendars appear in the brief.

- Reconnect from the skill or account setup screen if Homie says access is missing.

Use these controls when you want to correct Homie, reduce noise, or make the home match how the household actually works.

- Whether a saved account is enabled.

- Whether a saved account is deleted.

- Which personal calendars appear in a brief.

- Mail handles, Telegram handles, and other personal channel handles where supported.

- Skill-specific setup such as Spotify, lights, calendars, and mail.

Homie should stay honest about what changed. If an action needs a trusted device, a claimed member, or an approval, it should say so before pretending the work is done.

- It will not use a disabled account for new answers.

- It will not keep using a deleted account.

- It will not include a calendar in a brief after you turn that calendar off.

- It will not borrow one member's account for another member's private request.

Personal accounts belong to the member who connected them. Household surfaces should use only household-safe summaries unless the member chooses to share more.

Deleting a connection removes Homie's access to that account but does not delete the account itself from the outside service.

After making an operational change, do one small check. It is the easiest way to catch a wrong member, wrong device, stale link, or missing permission while the context is still fresh.

- Refresh personal settings after enabling or deleting an account.

- Run a test brief after changing calendar includes.

- Ask Homie what accounts it can use for your request if behavior still looks wrong.

Start with the setup or identity question first. Most confusion in Homie comes from not knowing which device, person, room, or skill is in play.

- Disable before deleting when you are testing.

- Give calendars clear names so brief settings are easier to understand.

- Reconnect accounts after changing passwords outside Homie.

Most Homie issues come from setup, identity, or approval state. Work through these checks before assuming Homie ignored the request.

- Check whether the device is trusted, claimed, and named correctly.

- Open the relevant settings or Skills card and confirm setup is complete.

- Try the same request with the exact device, member, room, or skill name.

Good to know: Most operational changes take effect right away on the home system, but connected accounts and devices may need a refresh or reconnect.

- Disable before deleting when you are testing.

- Give calendars clear names so brief settings are easier to understand.

- Reconnect accounts after changing passwords outside Homie.

- Which calendars are in my brief?

- Stop using my work calendar in the brief.

- What accounts are connected for me?
