Protecting your privacy while sharing your Wi-Fi network with guests has never been easier. With SmartThings Wifi and the Plume app's Homepass feature, you can create guest passwords with customizable access levels. Choose from Full, Some, or Internet Only access to ensure your guests have just the right level of connectivity.

Set up a Home zone (Full access)

The Home zone grants complete access to both the internet and all network devices. To set this up:

  1. Ensure the Plume Wifi app is installed on your phone.

  2. Open the app, navigate to Menu > HomePass, and select Home.

  3. Tap Add, create a Home password, and confirm. You can then share this password directly from the app.

  3. The details will be listed under Guest, where you can manage or share access as needed.
