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

Taking charge of your home’s automation, security, and energy consumption has never been easier, thanks to the smart home professionals at Vivint. As opposed to navigating through numerous screens to discover the information you’re looking for, it’s now found in one convenient location. Find out more about Vivint HomeView and the additional updates to the Vivint App.

Manage your Charlottesville home from a single location

Just like the name suggests, HomeView provides a visual overview of your home, but it’s more than just a picture. This new tool is an interactive interface that lets you check the status of various equipment and make adjustments as needed. To illustrate, if your garage door is up, you’ll find that shown in the image and be able to close it.

What can you do with Vivint HomeView?

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

  • Instantly disarm or arm your system
  • Secure or unlock smart door locks
  • Open or close your garage door
  • Change your smart thermostat
  • Switch smart lights and other connected equipment on or off
  • View real-time video streams from outdoor, indoor, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one convenient spot and simple to navigate. HomeView offers an overview of your smart home and indicates the real-time status of your tools, letting you identify security risks, such as an unsecured window, swiftly. When getting started with this new feature, you can choose the siding, color, and roof of your digital house to best match your actual home. 

How to custom-tailor the Vivint App experience

Your experience in the Vivint App is fully customizable. Include the HomeView feature and then arrange the My Home tab any way you like. In this unified dashboard, you can rearrange tiles to reflect what matters most to you. For instance, you might want a quick-action button to arm or disarm your system first, followed by energy usage, cameras, and security sensors. Everything from your surveillance video to your thermostat is accessible in one place. 

The improved Vivint App is available to all customers, regardless of the package you select, and now features a dark mode to improve visibility and lower eye strain in low-light settings.
