Keeping track of your home’s automation, protection, and energy usage has never been more effortless, thanks to the smart home pros at Vivint. Instead of searching through numerous screens to discover the information you’re looking for, it’s now accessible in one convenient location. Read more about Vivint HomeView and the additional updates to the Vivint App.

Control your New Haven home from a single location

True to its name, HomeView offers a visual representation of your home, but it’s not just a simple image. This new enhancement is an interactive interface that lets you check the status of your devices and make changes if needed. To illustrate, if your garage door is open, you’ll find that displayed in HomeView and be able to lower it.

How can you use Vivint HomeView?

From the HomeView 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 integrated components on or off
  • View live video footage from inside, outdoor, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one convenient spot and simple to manage. HomeView gives you a clear overview of your smart home and reflects the actual status of your equipment, letting you catch security risks, such as an unlocked door, rapidly. When first using this new addition, you can choose the roof, siding, and color of your digital home to best match your real home. 

How to personalize the Vivint App

Vivint lets you customize the app experience. Include the HomeView image and then set up the My Home tab any way you want. In this user-friendly dashboard, you can rearrange tiles to reflect what matters most to you. For instance, you might want an easy-access button to arm or disarm your system in the first spot, followed by cameras, security sensors, and energy usage. Everything from your thermostat to camera video is all in one spot. 

The improved Vivint App is part of every system, regardless of the package you choose, and now features a dark mode to boost visibility and lower eye strain in low-light settings.

Vivint helps you recognize the advantage of a smart, more efficient home by turning system info and data into actionable insights. You can find out how much energy you are saving, track outdoor and indoor temperatures, and more. You’ll even find tips on how to further optimize your home.
