Is HomeBeacon better than Centriq was?
HomeBeacon focuses on what most Centriq users cared about most: maintenance scheduling and reminders. While Centriq was strong on product manuals and warranty tracking, HomeBeacon offers more sophisticated maintenance personalization — adjusting tasks based on your home type, age, climate zone, and local seasons.
What happened to Centriq's product manuals feature?
Centriq's product manual library was one of its most-loved features. HomeBeacon doesn't replicate this directly, but equipment entries in HomeBeacon let you attach notes, dates, and warranty information. For product manuals, manufacturer websites and ManualsLib.com are free alternatives.
