Changing the ownership of a device registered on the SmartThings app involves a simple process of resetting the device and then re-registering it under the new user's account. By following these steps, you can seamlessly transfer ownership to a new user.

However, it's important to note that once ownership is changed, the previous owner will no longer have access to the device. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that you're ready to proceed with the ownership transfer.

Please keep in mind that the specific instructions for resetting and re-registering devices may vary depending on the manufacturer and model. To obtain accurate instructions tailored to your device, we recommend referring to the manufacturer's product manual or contacting their customer support for assistance.

By following the appropriate steps provided by the manufacturer, you can successfully change the ownership of your device within the SmartThings app.
