Household sharing walkthrough

Invite family by email, set editor vs view-only roles, and share one freeze-risk dashboard without handing out a ThermalTrace password.

Freeze risk is a household problem. ThermalTrace lets you invite people by email so everyone sees the same probes and alerts without sharing a single login password, and Free includes one family live share link for people who do not want an account.

Invite flow

  1. Open Dashboard → Household.
  2. Enter the invitee email and send the invite.
  3. They create or sign into an account with that email and accept.
  4. Confirm they appear under Members with the intended role.

Family live share link

  1. Open Dashboard → Share → Links.
  2. Create a family live link (included on Free).
  3. Send the URL to anyone who should watch live temps without signing in.
  4. Pro unlocks broader scopes (history/metrics) and guest expiries.

Roles

  • Owner / editor: change devices, alerts, and sharing.
  • View-only: watch live data and history without changing settings.

Tips

Keep alert destinations on channels the household actually checks. Pair sharing with the cold-snap playbook so the first person awake knows what to do. Groups and plan gating are covered in group membership model.

Multiple properties

Pro portfolios can watch more than one property. Start with a single household space, prove alerts, then expand: see pricing for portfolio limits.

FAQ

Can household members change alert settings?
Editors and owners can; view-only members see live data without changing devices, alerts, or sharing.

Do invites require a paid plan?
Household sharing is available on free accounts so family can watch the same probes and alerts together.
