Adding additional user(s) to account to turn on/off cameras

I've recent.y purchased and set up three (3) cameras in my home with no problem.  The app on my phone is working fine, happy so far. 

But I would like to add an additional user (my wife) to the Roku account an give her the ability to the cameras on/off when she exits our home.

Do I just start by loading the app to her phone and go from there based on the questions?  I don't want to create another account, just same one I set up initially.

Yes.  She will need to enter your Roku credentials - email address and password.  She's not really added to your account; it's as if you're using two different devices.

Re: Adding additional user(s) to account to turn on/off cameras

Thanks, very easy to add an additional user (my wife) to my Roku Smart Home system. 

I scanned the QR code from the instructions included with one of my new Roku cameras and loaded the app as instructed.  When I opened the app the first time on my wifes phone it asked if I wanted to create a new account or use an existing one.  I chose my existing Roku account, loaded the information requested, and presto, everything loaded on my wifes phone exactly the way I set it up on my Roku phone app.  Even the "rules" carried over perfectly.  Easy-peasy!
