Trying to transform home inventory app

[u/DullDraw5025]

My team and I created a home inventory app primarily for appliances. We want to do more home task automation stuff, but don't know how to implement it in a way that people would actually use it - and furthermore, if this is even a product people are looking for. Thinking preventative maintenance type tasks.

We built out all the cool features to get your shit in for insurance purposes, but realizing that doesn't keep people around...

I’ve thought about this almost exact same app and the issue you describe.  Sticking to the automation side, could you centralize the devices for ease of access, scheduling, etc? 

You could show devices that are compatible with your customer’s current setup.  That could be a less invasive way of generating ad revenue.
