Smart Lock Family Access Management: Managing Multiple Users and Permissions

Introduction

One of the most valuable features of a smart lock is household access management. When everyone has their own code, you have complete visibility and control over who enters your home and when.

Why Individual Codes Matter

With a shared code, you cannot know which family member accessed the home. With individual codes, you know exactly who entered and when – including when kids returned from school, whether the housekeeper arrived, and when a former employee’s code was used.

Setting Up Individual Codes

  1. Open FEOCEY Home App and navigate to Access Codes
  2. Tap “Add User” and enter the person’s name
  3. Select a 4-8 digit code
  4. Set the code type: Permanent, Temporary, or Recurring
  5. Save and confirm the code

Code Types

  • Permanent codes: Never expire. Ideal for immediate family members.
  • Temporary codes: Expire at a set date/time. Perfect for house sitters and contractors.
  • Recurring codes: Work during specific time windows. Ideal for housekeepers and dog walkers.

Managing Children’s Access

Assign each child their own code. You receive a notification every time they use it. Set up recurring codes for school days and commute hours.

Service Provider Access

Set up a recurring code for your cleaner’s scheduled day. When done, deactivate the code immediately. Update or create a new code in under 30 seconds from the app.

When Relationships Change

When a roommate moves out, delete their code immediately. No need to change locks or collect keys. Once a contractor finishes work, delete their temporary code immediately.

Activity Monitoring

The FEOCEY Home App maintains a full activity log showing date, time, method used (app, keypad, or key), and which specific code was used.

Conclusion

Family access management on a smart lock is about peace of mind. Know who is coming and going, grant access on your terms, and revoke it instantly when circumstances change.
