Set it up

What you need

• A browser — phone, laptop, or tablet. Guests use the same hub URL you do. Nothing to buy.
• About 30 minutes for the setup wizard once your hub is live (up to 10 minutes after checkout, often faster).
• Optional: a wall tablet — only if you want a screen in the house. We do not sell mounts, tablets, or kiosk hardware.

After you create your home

1. Wait for the hub. The success page watches the build and shows an Open button plus a QR code when it answers — up to 10 minutes, often faster.
2. Sign in as owner. Open your-name.lovely-hub.com. Cloudflare emails a one-time code to the address you used at signup.
3. Walk through the wizard. Hub name, contacts, Wi‑Fi, lockbox, bins, optional calendar, and a starter house guide.
4. Set an owner PIN. That unlocks owner tools on any device — phone, laptop, or tablet.
5. Share the URL. Send the hub address to your guest, or open it yourself wherever you like.

Share with guests

This is the usual way — for Airbnb stays, tenants, sitters, family, or anyone you invite. They open the hub on their own phone or laptop; no wall tablet required. Add every upcoming stay in one list.

1. Schedule the stay. Settings → Guest mode & stays → add their email and dates (optional label for you). Free includes up to two scheduled stays; Lovely Home+ and Multi Home plans are unlimited.
2. Two weeks before. They sign in with a one-time email code and can read the house guide. Wi‑Fi, address, and lockbox stay hidden.
3. During the stay. Those home-access details appear automatically. You do not need the “is here” toggle for a booked remote stay.
4. After checkout. Their login is removed the day after the stay ends. Edit, extend, cancel, or end a stay early from the same list.
5. Long-term access. Add their email as a permanent guest login — for tenants, regular sitters, or anyone who should keep access.

Guests never see the guide editor, backups, or home-control buttons. On a wall tablet in the house, use the “is here” toggle so a visitor without their own login can see home-access details. See Security for how access is locked down.

Optional: wall tablet

If you want the hub on the wall as well, open the same URL on a tablet and add it to the home screen. Android users who want a locked, always-on display can use Fully Kiosk Browser — a separate app with its own licence, not part of Lovely Home.

1. Install Fully and turn on Remote Admin (local network) with a password before you lock kiosk mode.
2. Set the start URL to your hub, for example https://rose-cottage.lovely-hub.com.
3. Keep cookies. If Fully clears cookies on reload, Cloudflare will ask for a login code every time the screen wakes.
4. Choose an exit gesture and kiosk PIN, write them down, then enable kiosk mode.
5. On the hub, enable Guest mode lock on that device before you mount it.

Prefer not to use Fully? Chrome or Safari “Add to Home Screen” is enough for a simpler setup. If you use a kiosk PIN on a tablet, we cannot reset it — keep that with your household notes.
