[APP][Pro] Maintenance Monitor - keep track of all maintenance in and around your home

Apps

Never forget maintenance again — Homey tells you when it’s time.

Test the smoke detectors, clean the air conditioner filters, give the washing machine a hot cleaning programme, service the boiler, lubricate the 3D printer, clean the gutters… Add your items once and Maintenance Monitor reminds you.

What it does

  • All maintenance in one place — 25 item types (smoke & CO detectors, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, air conditioner, ventilation, boiler & heat pump, 3D printer, robot vacuum, coffee machine, pets & chickens, cameras, solar panels, car, house and more), each with suggested tasks and intervals
  • By date or by usage — every X days/weeks/months/years, or link a Homey device and count:
    • running hours (e.g. power > 40 W → lubricate 3D printer after 200 printing hours)
    • number of runs (e.g. washer status In use → clean the drum after 30 washes)
    • a device counter (e.g. Litter-Robot: deep clean after 250 clean cycles)
    • …or both: “after 30 washes or 2 months, whichever comes first”
  • Notifications when a task is due soon, due or overdue — each step only once. Tap Done and the interval starts again
  • One overview device with a red dot when something needs attention — your appliances don’t show up twice in your device list
  • Dashboard widget with a Done button
  • Flow cards: A task of [item] is due / due soon / overdue · [item] has open tasks · Mark [task] as done · Postpone [task] · Increase counter of [task]
  • Wizard to add items, in Homey’s own look and feel · English and Dutch

Getting started

  1. Install the app
  2. Go to Settings → Apps → Maintenance Monitor → Configure and tap + Add item
  3. Choose the type, (optionally) the installation year and a Homey device to link, and check the suggested tasks
  4. Optional: add the Maintenance Monitor (overview) device and the Maintenance widget

Test version

The app is in test — feedback is very welcome!
:backhand_index_pointing_right: Install: Maintenance Monitor | Homey

Works on Homey Pro (2023 or later), Homey Pro mini and Homey Self-Hosted Server.

Note: the app uses the Homey Web API permission to follow linked devices for usage tracking. Linking is optional; date-based tasks work without it.

Hello Sander,

Nice little app, thank you.

Would it be possible to use linked devices Homey icon, or provide more options than just a box please?

Would it also be possible to include in the Tags on the WHEN cards the due date of the maintenance item (for example 31-10-2026) please?

Thank you kindly :saluting_face:

Andy

Hi Andy, thanks for the suggestions! Both are in version 0.9.0 (test build coming shortly): under Item settings › Icon you can now choose the icon the linked device has in Homey, or any of the app’s icons (items of type Other with a linked device use the device icon automatically). The WHEN cards now have a Due date tag (e.g. 31-10-2026), and A task was done has a Next due date tag.

Hi Sander,

I hope you don’t mind me making more suggestions?

For the THEN card Mark X as done would it be possible to have a similar card, but instead of a list you have to choose from when creating the Flow, be able to pass tags/variables for the item name and maintenance task name. For example a variable or tag containing “Dishwasher” (a separator character like a “/” for instance) and then another variable containing “Clean Filter”…

I have a number of uses for this, so I hope I am not being too presumptuous asking this.

Thank you kindly good sir :saluting_face:
