Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I share with family and friends?
Yes, you can share your plugs with family and friends who will have access to
control your bulbs, plugs, cameras, and other Geeni devices. In the Geeni app,
press the Profile button and click on the “Device Sharing” button, and you
will be able to give or revoke sharing permissions. In order to share, the
other user should already have downloaded the Geeni app and registered a new
account.
2. Can I group multiple Geeni devices together?
Yes, you can group multiple devices of the same type together, by room,
location, or however else you want. The same devices can be in multiple
groups. For example, create a group for “Bedroom” and another group for
“Entire House”, and your Bedroom lights can be included in both groups. From
your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to group, press
the “ ” button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Create Group.
You’ll then be able to choose which devices you’d like to group together and
will be able to rename them.

Geeni’s app can control an unlimited amount of devices in an unlimited amount
of locations. Your router may have a limit of how many devices can be
connected to one router.

From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to rename,
press the “ ” button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Modify
Device Name (or Modify Group Name, if applicable). You’ll then be able to
choose a more familiar name.

latest Geeni functionality by clicking “Check for firmware update” in your
device settings.

data.
