What is Multiadmin?
Multiadmin is a feature in smart home systems that allows multiple users to access and manage a shared smart home network. This is especially relevant in systems like Matter, as multiadmin allows devices to be controlled and managed across different platforms without being tied to a single provider. This allows family members or roommates, for example, to have their own access rights and use the smart home flexibly.

What does multiadmin mean?
Multiadmin refers to the ability to grant access to multiple administrators or users in a smart home system, allowing each to manage and control the system individually. This feature is particularly relevant in connection with the Matter standard, which enables the interoperability of various smart home devices from different manufacturers. Multiadmin ensures that users retain control over their devices and can share them flexibly, regardless of the platform (e.g., Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa) or manufacturer.
Frequently asked questions
How does Multiadmin work in Matter?
Multiadmin in Matter allows smart home devices to be managed from multiple platforms. For example, a Matter-enabled device can be integrated with both Apple HomeKit and Google Home without having to configure it separately for each platform. This is made possible by a common API and interoperability standards provided by Matter. This enables parallel use and control of the same device across multiple accounts and devices.
Is Multiadmin secure?
Yes, Multiadmin is securely implemented in Matter systems. Matter uses strong encryption methods and authentication protocols to ensure that only authorized users have access to control smart home devices. Specific security mechanisms are also integrated to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access or tampering with data.
Which platforms support multiadmin?
Multiadmin is supported on all Matter-compatible platforms, such as Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. These platforms can manage Matter-certified devices and allow users to set up and control the same device in multiple systems without duplicate configurations.
How to manage user rights in a multi-admin system?
Managing user rights in a multi-admin system varies depending on the platform. In Matter-enabled systems, administrators can assign specific access rights, such as full control or read-only access, to specific users. This can often be customized in the settings of the respective smart home app, allowing administrators to specify who can control which devices.
What are the advantages of Multiadmin?
Multiadmin offers several advantages, particularly flexibility and ease of use. Users can use their smart home devices across platforms and grant access to other household members or guests. It also enables greater interoperability, as devices are not tied to a single platform but can be controlled by multiple accounts and systems in parallel. This facilitates the integration and use of smart home technologies for families, shared apartments, and office applications.
