Keeping track of your home’s defense, automation, and energy consumption has never been simpler, thanks to the smart home experts at Vivint.

Read more about Vivint HomeView and the other new updates to the Vivint App.

Control your Chicago home from one spot

Living up to its name, HomeView provides a visual snapshot of your home, but it’s more than a simple image. This new feature is an interactive interface that allows you to check the status of your equipment and make changes as you wish. For example, if your garage door is open, you’ll see that shown in the image and be able to close it.

What can you do with Vivint HomeView?

From the interactive image, you can do the following:

  • Easily disarm or arm your system
  • Unlock or secure smart door locks
  • Open or close your garage door
  • Adjust your smart thermostat settings
  • Switch smart lights and other connected equipment on or off
  • Watch real-time video streams from outside, indoor, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one convenient spot and simple to control. HomeView provides a clear overview of your smart home and indicates the real-time status of your equipment, allowing you to identify security risks, such as an unsecured window, swiftly. When setting up this new feature, you can customize the siding, color, and roof of your digital house to coorelate with your real home. 

How to custom-tailor the Vivint App

Vivint permits you to fully customize the app experience. Add the HomeView tool and then arrange the My Home tab any way you want. In this unified dashboard, you can rearrange tiles to reflect what matters most to you. To illustrate, you might want an easy-access button to arm or disarm your system in the most prominent spot, followed by security sensors, cameras, and energy management. Everything from your lighting to surveillance video is available in one location. 

The improved Vivint App comes with all systems, regardless of the package you choose, and now includes a dark mode to boost visibility and decrease eye strain in low-light settings.
