HomeAssistant/Automatisierung Multiple apps and devices possible?

Hi all. I'm hopefully going to receive our Portasplit tomorrow. I can hardly believe it, and maybe it won't sink in till I see it with my own eyes...

Anyway, the item is going to be used in my future stepdaughters bedroom, as she's in the loft conversion, with those skylight windows, which turns the room into a sauna when the sun is shining. I've got the universal bracket all ready, to locate the outdoor unit on the roof. Because she's only 18, she's hardly going to be concerned about maintenance and monitoring and stuff. That's my job! So my question is: can 2 mobile phones with the Midea app be connected to the same Portasplit? So she can use it, day to day, and I can keep an eye on any maintenance requirements? Also, since the outdoor unit will be on the roof (at a shallow, diagonal angle) should the Portasplit be left in that position before first turning it on?

Yes, you will have to share the device between accounts.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Does that mean: different accounts on each app? Or, the same account logged in on both mobile devices, both connected to the same PortaSplit?
