Oversee your Evanston home from a single spot

As the name implies, HomeView provides a visual snapshot of your home, but it’s not just a simple image. This new feature is an easy-to-use interface that lets you view the status of your equipment and make modifications if needed. For example, if your garage door is open, you’ll notice that displayed in the app and be able to lower it.

What can you do with Vivint HomeView?

From the interactive image, you can perform these tasks:

  • Quickly disarm or arm your system
  • Secure or unlock smart door locks
  • Close or open your garage door
  • Adjust your smart thermostat
  • Turn smart lights and other integrated devices off or on
  • Check live video streams from interior, outside, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one place and simple to manage. HomeView gives you a clear overview of your smart home and indicates the current status of your equipment, helping you catch security risks, such as an unlocked door, quickly. When getting started with this new tool, you can customize the color, siding, and roof of your digital house to coorelate with your real one. 

How to personalize the Vivint App

Your experience in the Vivint App is totally customizable. Include the HomeView feature and then arrange the My Home tab however you like. In this user-friendly dashboard, you can arrange tiles so what’s most important to you is placed appropriately. For instance, you might want an easy-access button to disarm or arm your system in the most prominent spot, followed by cameras, security sensors, and energy management. Everything from your surveillance video to smart lights is available in one place. 

The improved Vivint App comes with all systems, no matter the plan you pick, and now includes a dark mode to boost visibility and decrease eye strain in dim lighting.
