Keeping track of your home’s automation, protection, and energy consumption has never been simpler, thanks to the smart home pros at Vivint. Instead of searching through multiple screens to obtain the information you want, it’s now found in one convenient spot. Learn more about Vivint HomeView and the other updates to the Vivint App.

Oversee your Columbus home from one spot

As the name suggests, HomeView provides a visual representation of your home, but it’s not just a simple image. This new tool is an interactive interface that allows you to check the status of your equipment and make modifications as needed. For instance, if your garage door is open, you’ll find that shown in the image and be able to close it.

What is possible with Vivint HomeView?

From the interactive Vivint HomeView image, you can do the following:

  • Quickly arm or disarm your system
  • Secure or unlock smart door locks
  • Open or shut your garage door
  • Change your smart thermostat
  • Toggle smart lights and other integrated devices on or off
  • Check live video footage from interior, outside, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one convenient spot and simple to manage. HomeView offers an overview of your smart home and mirrors the actual status of your tools, letting you catch security risks, such as an open garage, quickly. When getting started with this new addition, you can select the color, siding, and roof of your virtual home to reflect your real home. 

How to personalize the Vivint App

Your experience in the Vivint App is fully customizable. Add the HomeView tool and then set up the My Home tab any way you prefer. In this easy-to-use dashboard, you can place tiles to reflect what matters most to you. For example, you might want a quick-action button to arm or disarm your system in the most prominent spot, followed by energy usage, cameras, and security sensors. Everything from your surveillance video to your thermostat is accessible in one place. 

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