I am using some smarthome accessories. I want to share home accessories with my wife but i can not share home. Because there is no button like "add people" on my iphone. Also checked my wife's phone, she have it :)
The problem is we both cannot control home accessories, just one of us can control it. We both have 14 Plus and have the latest update "16.3.1".
Anyone have solution for this?
iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 16
That could be the reason. Without a Hub, there may be some challenges with sharing the home, as she will only be able to interact with the Home accessories when you are at home.
But I don't understand how your wife can invite if she doesn't have any accessories set up on her Apple ID. Try setting up the accessory on her Apple ID, then share from it. However, the same applies as written before - you will not be able to use the accessory when she is not at home. Not unless you get a hub.

The reason you can't see the Add Button so you can send invitations is because you don't have any accessories set up. Set up a single accessory, then you would be able to send an invitation.
You can see how to add accessories to the Home app here:

Try tapping on the round button with the 3 dots next to the + button and select Home Settings. Can you find Invite Person under your name? Do you have a hub connected to your Apple ID, for example Apple TV or HomePod?
Already tried it :) Still no add or sharing with another people option.
Sad story, i dont have the “invite” button 😂 . I dont have a hub, but the thing is my wife have the add people button. We both using same model “iPhone 14 plus” and latest OS.
Home app dont have "add people" button.
