Keeping track of your home’s security, automation, and energy consumption has never been easier, thanks to the smart home pros at Vivint. As opposed to searching through numerous screens to find the information you’re looking for, it’s now accessible in one convenient spot. Read more about Vivint HomeView and the other updates to the Vivint App.

Control your Champaign home from a single spot

True to its name, HomeView gives you a visual snapshot of your home, but it’s more than a simple image. This new enhancement is a simple interface that lets you view the status of your equipment and make changes if needed. To illustrate, if your garage door is open, you’ll see that reflected in the image and be able to shut it.

How can you use Vivint HomeView?

From the HomeView image, you can take the following actions:

  • Quickly arm or disarm your system
  • Unlock or secure smart door locks
  • Close or open your garage door
  • Change your smart thermostat settings
  • Switch smart lights and other connected equipment on or off
  • View real-time video streams from exterior, interior, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one place and a breeze to control. HomeView offers an overview of your smart home and reflects the real-time status of your equipment, helping you discover security risks, such as an unlocked door, quickly. When setting up this new feature, you can choose the siding, color, and roof of your digital house to best match your real home. 

How to personalize the Vivint App experience

Vivint lets you customize the app experience. Add the HomeView image and then arrange the My Home tab any way you like. In this easy-to-use dashboard, you can rearrange tiles so what’s most important to you is given priority. To illustrate, you might want a quick-action button to arm or disarm your system first, followed by surveillance, security sensors, and energy usage. Everything from your camera footage to smart lights is available in one place. 

The updated Vivint App comes with all systems, no matter the package you choose, and now features a dark mode to boost visibility and lower eye strain in low-light situations.
