Person utilizing the HomeView tool in the Vivint app to find insights into automation, security, and energy usage.

Managing your home’s protection, automation, and energy consumption has never been more effortless, thanks to the smart home experts at Vivint. Rather than navigating through multiple screens to discover the details you need, it’s now available in one convenient place. Find out more about Vivint HomeView and the other new updates to the Vivint App.

Manage your McAllen home from a single location

As the name implies, HomeView provides a visual representation of your home, but it’s more than just a picture. This new tool is a simple interface that allows you to inspect the status of your devices and make changes as needed. For example, if your garage door is up, you’ll see it displayed in HomeView and be able to lower it.

What can you do with Vivint HomeView?

From the interactive Vivint HomeView image, you can perform these tasks:

  • Instantly arm or disarm your system
  • Secure or unlock smart door locks
  • Open or close your garage door
  • Adjust your smart thermostat
  • Turn smart lights and other connected equipment off or on
  • Watch real-time video from inside, outside, and doorbell cameras 

It’s all in one convenient location and simple to control. HomeView provides a snapshot of your smart home and mirrors the actual status of your equipment, helping you discover security risks, such as an unlocked door, swiftly. When setting up this new feature, you can choose the siding, color, and roof of your virtual home to best match your real home. 

How to custom-tailor the Vivint App experience

Vivint lets you customize the app experience. Include the HomeView tool and then configure the My Home tab any way you want. In this easy-to-use dashboard, you can place tiles so what’s most important to you is given priority. To illustrate, you might want an easy-access button to disarm or arm your system first, followed by security sensors, cameras, and energy management. Everything from your smart lights to surveillance footage is available in one location. 

The updated Vivint App is part of every system, no matter the plan you pick, and now includes a dark mode to enhance visibility and reduce eye strain in low-light settings.
