webOS TVs store apps and profiles that survivors of a factory reset wish they had noted.
Organizing LG devices means documenting hubs first, then endpoints, then automations worth saving.
This guide stays practical: what to list, what to ignore, and how to share access without oversharing.
Hubs and accounts first
Identify the controlling app and LG account / ThinQ owner email.
ThinQ appliances and TVs may not share one clean household story.
If there are multiple homes in the app, write which physical address maps to which home name.
One room model
Pick room names and reuse them in the app and in Home Tech Vault.
Washer error history lives only in an app until the phone changes.
Inconsistent room names break guest instructions and automation mental models.
Fields that matter
Capture LG account email, TV model and webOS version, ThinQ home nickname, serial number.
Panel and chassis serials are easy to miss until a service visit.
Battery devices need install dates or last-replacement notes.
Manual backups worth keeping
Export or screenshot automations you would hate to rebuild.
Extended TV panel coverage needs proof of purchase.
Note where local vs cloud recordings live for cameras.
Retire dead endpoints
Remove ghost LG devices from both the app and your inventory.
Ghost devices inflate insurance lists and confuse troubleshooting.
Schedule a quarterly 15-minute cleanup.
Use Home Tech Vault as the layer above apps
