In the Geeni app, press the Profile button and click on the "Device Sharing" button, and you will be able to give or revoke sharing permissions. In order to share, the other user should already have downloaded the Geeni app and registered a new account.

From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to group, press the ⋮ button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Create Group. You'll then be able to choose which devices you'd like to group together and will be able to rename them.
