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

Managing your home’s defense, automation, and energy consumption has never been easier, thanks to the smart home professionals at Vivint. Instead of clicking through numerous screens to obtain the info you’re looking for, it’s now found in one convenient place. Learn more about Vivint HomeView and the additional updates to the Vivint App.

Oversee your Cedar Rapids home from a single place

Just like the name suggests, HomeView provides a visual representation of your home, but it’s more than a simple image. This new tool is an easy-to-use interface that allows you to view the status of your devices and make modifications as you wish. For example, if your garage door is open, you’ll see it displayed in HomeView and be able to shut it.

How can you use Vivint HomeView?

From the HomeView image, you can do the following:

  • Instantly arm or disarm your system
  • Unlock or secure smart door locks
  • Close or open your garage door
  • Change your smart thermostat
  • Switch smart lights and other connected equipment on or off
  • Check live video streams from indoor, outside, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one convenient spot and easy to manage. HomeView gives you a clear overview of your smart home and reflects the actual status of your tools, helping you discover security risks, such as an open garage, rapidly. When getting started with this new feature, you can select the color, siding, and roof of your virtual house to best match your real one. 

How to custom-tailor the Vivint App experience

Vivint lets you customize the app experience. Add the HomeView image and then arrange the My Home tab however you prefer. In this unified dashboard, you can rearrange tiles so what matters most is given priority. To illustrate, you might want an easy-access button to arm or disarm your system in the first spot, followed by security sensors, video cameras, and energy management. Everything from your surveillance video to smart lights is available in one place. 

The upgraded Vivint App comes with all systems, no matter the plan you choose, and now comes with a dark mode to enhance visibility and decrease eye strain in dim lighting.
