Apple Home does not provide a built‑in way to transfer full ownership of a smart‑home setup to a new resident. When the author moved, the buyer wanted to keep the existing accessories, so the parties used a temporary workaround: the buyer was added as a resident in the Apple Home app and the broadband service was left active for a short period. The resident role permits managing accessories, scenes, and other users, but cannot add HomePods, Apple TVs, or AirPlay devices, and it leaves the former owner with full control, raising security and privacy concerns. The author proposes that Apple introduce a third user class labeled Owner, which would issue a warning and then downgrade the previous owner to resident, allowing temporary access before the new owner removes the old account. The problem is likely to become more common as smart‑home technology spreads, and the lack of a clear transfer mechanism may hinder home sales. Comments are welcome.
