As a digital calendar, the Skylight Cal Max works best when everyone in your family has easy access to its interface. This allows them to quickly add events, chores, or meal plans to the calendar while away from home. Once your Skylight Cal Max is installed, it's incredibly simple to send invites to everyone else in the home that needs access. As long as you and the person you want to invite have a smartphone, the process should take no more than a few minutes.

Here's how to add a new family member to your Skylight Cal Max.

What You Need

  • Skylight mobile app

Add a new member to your Skylight Cal Max

With the Skylight app open on your mobile device, here's what you'll need to do.

Step 1: From the Devices menu, select the Skylight Cal Max.

Step 2: Scroll until you see the Share tile. Click on this to open a new menu.

Step 3: Select your Skylight Cal Max from the list.

Step 4: Press Share Device Link.

Step 5: Your phone should then pull up a list of ways to share the link with your family and friends. This screen may vary slightly depending on whether you're using an iPhone or Android device, but generally you can send the invite via text or email.

Step 6: Once the invite is sent, the prospective member will just need to follow the instructions to install the Skylight app and join your Cal Max group. They'll then be able to view and edit the events on your calendar.

There isn't a quick way to remove people from accessing the Skylight Cal Max, so be certain you want to add someone to the group before sending an invite. If you do want to remove someone's access, you'll need to perform a Reset. This returns the device to its factory settings, meaning you'll have to go though the setup process again — but it'll also remove every other previously synced account.

To reset your Skylight Cal Max, simply find the Settings menu on your Cal Max and scroll to the Reset Device option. This will walk you through the entire process (and give you another warning about what data will be lost).

Yale uses something known as a Keychain to organize all your smart locks. This makes it easy to see all your devices in a single place – but if you decide to remove a lock from your property, you'll also need to remove it from your Keychain. The same goes for visiting an Airbnb with a smart lock, as hosts will often push the lock's info to your Keychain for easy access during your stay.

But how do you remove a location from your Yale keychain?

What to know before connecting the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra to your drainage system
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra model that hooks up to plumbing.

One of the coolest features of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is its ability to connect to your existing plumbing. This allows it to automatically refill its clean water supply and drain its dirty water after each cleaning cycle. In other words, it turns the robot vacuum into a highly automated floor cleaner that needs little to no manual input.

The most demanding portion of owning this version of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is installing it. Unlike the traditional model, which comes with water reservoirs and plugs into an electrical outlet, this model needs to connect to both your water and drain lines. And depending on how your home is set up, it might be more of a hassle than it's worth.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra are two of the newest additions to the Roborock family. Along with having almost identical names, these robot vacuums share much of the same spec sheet -- including the ability to mop and vacuum in a single cycle before automatically emptying their dustbin and cleaning their mops. They're impressive gadgets by all accounts, but since they're wildly expensive, you'll want to carefully compare the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra before adding one to your home.

If you need help, here's a comprehensive look at these two premium robot vacuums, including a comparison of their vacuuming and mops skills, a look at their docking station perks, and a final determination of which is likely best for your needs. Keep in mind that you really can't go wrong with either product -- after all, they're two of the most expensive robots in the category -- but one might be a slightly better fit for your household than the other.
