FAQs
How does HomeBridge use AccessGuard?
It resolves customer/user identity, profiles, suggestions and bundles through the configured identity operations, while HomeBridge owns reservation eligibility, commitment-fee state, holds, allocation and assignment workflow state.
Does HomeBridge keep a second full user directory?
HomeBridge stores customer references in its property journey and resolves identity/profile details from the configured provider.
How is the connection activated?
HomeBridge discovers compatible apps, probes system capabilities, verifies authorization, and stores the selected provider binding for the workspace.
