About the text messages

Who sends them: Chaney Home, from an automated system on a private home network.

Who receives them: household members who agreed to it (a parent agrees for a child). Nobody else; guests are never texted.

What they say

• A request to approve a guest on the guest Wi-Fi, with a link to an approval page. The link opens only on household devices, after sign-in with the household's Google accounts.
• A notice that a household member approved a guest, so the others know. No action needed.
• Home system alerts, for example a problem the system found.

Example: "Chaney Home: A guest is asking for Wi-Fi access. Approve or decline: (link). Reply STOP to stop all messages, HELP for help."

There is no marketing, and no sign-in codes.

How often

Up to 50 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply.

How you join

There is no web form and no sign-up page. The account holder (for a child, the parent) asks in person, reads you a short description of these messages (what, how often, rates, HELP and STOP, and links to the Terms and Privacy Policy), and asks a yes or no question. Only if you say yes is your number added, and the date is recorded.
