I wish I had known this before I bought the camera. How can a manufacturer not support sharing device access? Time to switch brands and return this one.

Tp-link has already implemented features with less votes than this one... Let's have some hope.

Yet another frustrated user of Kasa and Tapo kit. 
the hardware is good, competitively priced, reliable. The software is better than many of the other brands. And yet. 
 

AND YET... this utterly basic and essential feature remains absent. 


My particular scenario: a holiday property shared between many families. I have installed Kasa KE100 TRVs, so that heating can be controlled in only some rooms in advance of arrival. 
 

But the only options are either to share my login with several other people, so they can control all the devices in my own home as well, or be wholly responsible for the heating, having to do the remote operations that others ask for. 
 

TP-Link: close but no cigar. For a massive company, this is such a basic and essential omission. Such a shame.

Would love to see feature to allow chosen devices to be shared to other TP-Link ID's. One possible use case is for families, where some devices could be shared while others are not... this could allow different family members in different homes/locations to collectively access certain "shared" devices, while keeping certain other devices un-shared. Example could be a vacation home/cabin, where members of multiple separate households may have a shared interest in monitoring/managing the vacation property. They could share devices from the vacation home without having to share their own devices in their personal homes, and without having to log in/out of the app with different accounts each time.
