Customer checking the HomeView upgrade in the Vivint app to look at security, automation, and energy usage.

Taking charge of your home’s automation, protection, and energy usage has never been easier, thanks to the smart home professionals at Vivint. Rather than searching through multiple screens to obtain the info you want, it’s now available in one convenient place. Read more about Vivint HomeView and the other updates to the Vivint App.

Manage your Charleston home from one spot

Just like the name implies, HomeView provides a visual representation of your home, but it’s not just a simple image. This new feature is an interactive interface that permits you to view the status of your devices and make modifications as needed. For instance, if your garage door is up, you’ll find that displayed in HomeView and be able to lower it.

What can you do with Vivint HomeView?

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

  • Quickly disarm or arm your system
  • Secure or unlock smart door locks
  • Close or open your garage door
  • Change your smart thermostat
  • Switch smart lights and other integrated devices on or off
  • Watch real-time video streams from outdoor, indoor, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one place and easy to navigate. HomeView gives you a snapshot of your smart home and reflects the actual status of your devices, helping you catch safety concerns, such as an unsecured window, quickly. When setting up this new feature, you can choose the siding, color, and roof of your digital residence to coorelate with your real one. 

How to customize the Vivint App experience

Your experience in the Vivint App is completely customizable. Include the HomeView image and then configure the My Home tab however you want. In this unified dashboard, you can arrange tiles to reflect what’s most important to you. For example, you might want an easy-access button to arm or disarm your system in the first spot, followed by energy usage, surveillance, and security sensors. Everything from your lighting to surveillance footage is available in one location. 

The updated Vivint App is part of every system, no matter the package you select, and now comes with a dark mode to improve visibility and lower eye strain in dim lighting.
