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

Taking charge of your home’s automation, security, and energy consumption has never been simpler, thanks to the smart home pros at Vivint. Instead of searching through multiple screens to find the information you want, it’s now available in one convenient place. Learn more about Vivint HomeView and the additional updates to the Vivint App.

Oversee your Joliet home from a single spot

True to its name, HomeView provides a visual overview of your home, but it’s more than a simple image. This new feature is a simple interface that allows you to check the status of your devices and make adjustments as needed. For instance, if your garage door is open, you’ll see that shown in the image and be able to close it.

What is possible with Vivint HomeView?

From the HomeView image, you can do the following:

  • Instantly arm or disarm your system
  • Unlock or secure smart door locks
  • Open or shut your garage door
  • Update your smart thermostat settings
  • Toggle smart lights and other connected devices on or off
  • Watch live video streams from outside, inside, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one convenient spot and a breeze to navigate. HomeView provides a snapshot of your smart home and indicates the real-time status of your equipment, helping you discover security risks, such as an unsecured window, quickly. When first using this new tool, you can select the color, siding, and roof of your virtual home to coorelate with your actual home. 

How to customize the Vivint App

Your experience in the Vivint App is totally customizable. Include the HomeView image and then arrange the My Home tab however you want. In this unified dashboard, you can arrange tiles so what matters most is front and center. For example, you might want a quick-action button to arm or disarm your system in the most prominent spot, followed by surveillance, security sensors, and energy usage. Everything from your camera video to smart lights is all in one spot. 

The improved Vivint App is available to all customers, no matter the plan you select, and now features a dark mode to improve visibility and decrease eye strain in low-light situations.
