Every hub, one account
What's included
Core hub features are on every plan. Guides, stays, bins, and smart home depend on your account plan — Free, Lovely Home+, or Multi Home. A few extras need hardware or a third-party account you already own.
Account plans on every hub
Your subscription lives on your Lovely Home account — not on a single hub address. Free and Lovely Home+ cover one home; Multi Home (3) and Multi Home (10) raise your allowance. Every included hub gets Lovely Home+ features.
| Feature | Free | Lovely Home+ | Multi Home (3 / 10) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homes | 1 | 1 | Up to 3 or 10 |
| House guides | 2 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Scheduled stays | 2 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Bin collection reminders | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Alexa home controls | — | ✓ | ✓ |
Add another home from My Homes → Add another home when you have an included slot (shown as e.g. 2 of 3). See multi-home plans.
Multi-home plans are billed once per account. Adding another home within your allowance does not start a second Lovely Home+ checkout — open My Homes → Add another home when you have an included slot.
Ready when your hub is live
These hub features are on Free, Lovely Home+, and Multi Home plans. You fill in the household details during setup (about 30 minutes). Hosting, HTTPS, and sign-in are already there.
