Add new devices to User
I have several family users set up with their devices assigned to then under "people". Now we have new security cameras etc I'd like to assign to user"HOME" but I can only see devices already registered to Users when I click on a person. How do I assign all my new unassigned devices - Using Android App.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi @DownUnder , normally if you choose the device you want to assign in the device list, there is an option to assign it. However, not all devices are assignable and I believe cameras fall into that bucket.

@DownUnder - I found a work-around.
- Edit the device and change it to something that IS assignable, like a mobile phone and save.
- Then assign it to the relevant user.
- Go back and edit the device again changing it to whatever the "unassignable" category was (eg, smart light etc) and save again. The reclassified device is now manageable under the "user" etc.
