How do I add an appliance or anything else to my home's record?

Photograph the nameplate, or just describe it — Charyl drafts a proposal you review and approve.

Show her what it is

Photograph the appliance’s nameplate or model sticker, or simply tell her in a sentence what you bought.
She looks it up or listens

With Charyl Cloud, she researches the make and model against Singer Intelligent Homes’ researched knowledge — pulling specs, a manual, and a product image when one exists. Without a subscription, she works from exactly what you told her.
She checks your home's real categories

Before drafting anything, she pulls your home’s actual category list, so she doesn’t invent a category that won’t fit.
Review and approve

Nothing is added until you approve the card — edit anything that’s off first, if you’d like.

On a household routed through Charyl Cloud, this is quick and reliable. On a self-hosted home running chat on its own local hardware, it can occasionally take a follow-up nudge before the card actually appears — worth knowing so a quiet turn doesn’t read as a failure. Either way, nothing you own is added without your say-so.
