An email address for you home?

Hi

Before I start automation of my houseI wondered if it was wise to register a separate email address for the house? Most automation hardware and software is linked to an email address. If I choose to sell the house at a later date, I don't want my personal email address linked to the automation, it should be it's own entity.

So I was thinking of registering a gmail address just for the house.

BTW, my dog currently has his own email address and loyalty card at the supermarket!

Thanks in advance!

Re: An email address for you home?

I would suggest a separate email address if you want to use Indigo's email scanning (triggering) functionality, where you can send Indigo an email and have it execute actions if a particular subject line is in the email.

But for your Indigo account (which is associated with your license/registration code, and optional reflector) you can use your own email address. If you sell the house then just send us an email request with the new home owner's name and email address and we can transfer over the license without any problem. We get those requests fairly regularly as houses are sold.
