Allow permissions

Step 11 — Allow all permissions

eSphere needs a few permissions from your phone to recognize when you're home. You'll see a short explanation screen followed by a request from your phone for each one:

  • Bluetooth — so eSphere can recognize your phone for accurate home presence
  • Location — so eSphere can set up your home and create your profile
  • Notifications — so you get real-time updates about your home presence

Select "Allow" on each request as it appears.
