Can't share device to another phone

Hi. I recently got my wife a new phone and installed Yeelight. When I attempt to share device to her new MI account, I get this message ‘The device cannot be shared to yourself’. My MI ID is different from hers. Why I can’t share? Appreciate any help please. Thanks
