An item is anything in your home you want to track — appliances, HVAC, fixtures, finishes, electronics, even outdoor equipment. Select Add Item at the top of your dashboard (the + button on a phone) to open Add to your home.
Three ways to add
Library: select Library to open the Item Library and pick a common item — fridges, dishwashers, furnaces, water heaters, and more. It comes pre-filled with a typical lifespan and maintenance schedule; its typical price is offered as a hint you can use for Purchase Price.
Scan to identify: take or choose a photo of the item or its data plate (the sticker with the model and serial number). Homvio fills in what it recognizes — name, brand, model, serial number, category, condition, and room — and shows how confident it is. If it matches an item in the Item Library, the typical lifespan and maintenance schedule come with it. The photo becomes the item's photo.
Type it in: only the name is required. Brand, model, serial number, purchase date, warranty, and photos can be added now or later under More details.
Scanning tips and limits
Use a clear, well-lit JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo under 5 MB. A scan can get details wrong, so check them before you save. If Homvio can't tell what the item is, it says so — fill in the details yourself, or scan again with a better photo. You can scan up to 30 items an hour.
After you add it
If the item came with a maintenance schedule — from the Item Library or a scan that matched it — Homvio offers to Schedule Reminders, so its upkeep shows up in Up next on your dashboard.
