After sharing device to another user without admin option, now some features are not available in both logins., for eg. Restore state on power, Disable Manual swicth, green status led, etc disappeared.
even my account lost admin rights. how to enable it again without device reset.
Its very likely that you have shared the device with admin privileges by mistake.
If not and the issue still persists, please reset and pair again
This behavior aligns up with how the Tinxy app handles ownership, not a UI problem.
Tinxy internally elevates one account to the position of owner and demotes the other to member when you share a device. Advanced device flags such as restore state on power, manual switch disable, and status LED controls are locked behind the owner role once that ownership shifts, even for a small period of time. that’s why both logins now look restricted - the gadget thinks neither account is the original owner anymore.
critical bit: there’s no supported way to recover admin/owner rights in Tinxy without a reset after ownership is lost. logging out, reinstalling the app, or re-sharing won’t restore those rights because the role is kept on the device + cloud mapping, not the phone.
the only reliable fix: – factory reset the device – pair it fresh with the desired primary account – then re-share without admin access if needed
Yes, it is irritating, but it serves as a safeguard against the escalation of silent privilege. Tinxy is strict about that.
if this device is in a production configuration, double-check roles before sharing next time – once admin is gone, it’s gone.
