This terminology guide explains the language Huvrly uses to make devices, accounts, networks, assistants, and household systems feel more understandable.
Glossary
The core words Huvrly uses most often.
Identity and access
The accounts, passwords, recovery options, and permissions that determine who can get into what.
Platform mix
The blend of Apple, Windows, Android, Google, Microsoft, carrier, and vendor systems a household is living inside.
Local-first
A posture where the important system stays close to the household instead of assuming everything must live in somebody else’s cloud.
Continuity
The ability for the household system to survive changes like moves, handoffs, second homes, inheritances, and account recovery moments.
Household control layer
The place where the scattered parts of the home are brought back into one clearer picture so people can understand what belongs where.
A few more terms worth knowing
These are the words that usually matter once the picture gets more specific.
Recovery confidence
How secure and believable the household feels about password resets, recovery emails, two-factor prompts, and ownership questions.
Shared access confusion
The mess that happens when multiple people are using the same accounts, devices, or permissions without a clear ownership model.
Wi‑Fi feel
The real-world experience of the network, not just whether the internet is technically “on.”
Smart-home surface
The set of assistants, cameras, locks, doorbells, lights, automations, and apps that create the home’s automation footprint.
Risk profile
The combination of weak points, aging hardware, account confusion, support habits, and household context that shapes where trouble is likely to show up.
White-glove deployment
A careful, in-home, human-centered setup and migration process instead of a throw-it-over-the-wall software install.
