First and foremost: I totally agree that ST should have included the capability of restricting access to other users.

AFAIK they said that it’s on the roadmap, hopefully sooner rather than later-

There are some work arounds/ other ways to get around this issue that allow you to remove access to the app.

  1. Depending on your router, you may be able to use DD-WRT instead with a virtual presence detector. Basically when the phone is connected to wifi her presence would show home.
  1. You could get a presence fob for her.

  1. Redundancy I would do both the DD-WRT and Presence fob connected to 1 virtual switch. If either are detected she’s home, if none are she’s gone.
