Taking charge of your home’s automation, security, and energy consumption has never been simpler, thanks to the smart home experts at Vivint. Rather than navigating through numerous screens to find the details you need, it’s now found in one convenient spot. Learn more about Vivint HomeView and the other new updates to the Vivint App.

Oversee your Charleston home from one spot

Just like the name suggests, HomeView offers a visual snapshot of your home, but it’s more than just a picture. This new tool is a simple interface that lets you check the status of your devices and make modifications if needed. To illustrate, if your garage door is up, you’ll find that displayed in the image and be able to lower it.

What is possible with Vivint HomeView?

From the HomeView image, you can perform these actions:

  • Instantly arm or disarm your system
  • Secure or unlock smart door locks
  • Close or open your garage door
  • Update your smart thermostat settings
  • Turn smart lights and other integrated components off or on
  • View live video streams from inside, exterior, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one place and easy to navigate. HomeView offers an overview of your smart home and mirrors the actual status of your devices, letting you catch security risks, such as an unlocked door, swiftly. When first using this new feature, you can customize the color, siding, and roof of your virtual home to reflect your actual home. 

How to custom-tailor the Vivint App experience

Vivint lets you customize the app experience. Add the HomeView feature and then configure the My Home tab any way you prefer. In this unified dashboard, you can rearrange tiles to reflect what’s most important to you. To illustrate, you might want a quick-action button to disarm or arm your system in the most prominent spot, followed by energy usage, surveillance, and security sensors. Everything from your surveillance video to your thermostat is all in one location. 

The updated Vivint App is available to all customers, regardless of the plan you choose, and now includes a dark mode to boost visibility and lower eye strain in low-light situations.
