Vivint Releases Biggest App Update Ever, Introduces Vivint HomeView for Total Home Visibility and Control at a Glance

Only Vivint’s smart home app offers integrated control of security, home automation, and energy management in a connected, simple, customizable experience

LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vivint announces the rollout of its biggest app update ever, highlighted by the introduction of HomeView, a new dynamic in-app experience that allows users to see the state of their home, from locks to cameras to their HVAC system with a single glance.

According to a recent study, 63% of U.S. homeowners prefer to control all their home’s systems and devices through one integrated platform. Vivint is the only smart home company that offers customers one simple place to manage their home’s security, automation, and energy usage from anywhere, at any time.

Vivint HomeView: Total Home Control in the Palm of your Hands

Vivint HomeView is an interactive image interface that offers a snapshot view of a home’s alarm status, doors, windows, garages, locks, cameras, HVAC, and more by mirroring real-time statuses and updates on an image designed to represent the user’s actual home.

For example, if your garage or front door is open, HomeView will show it as open. If your air conditioner is running, an animation over the HVAC system visually confirms that cooling is in progress. HomeView also includes quick-action buttons for instant control when it matters most, delivering clearer visibility, faster response, and 24/7 peace of mind.

“HomeView was built directly from customer feedback and rigorous user‑experience analysis,” said Jim Nye, Chief Product Officer at Vivint. “We heard clearly that managing a connected home shouldn’t require jumping between tabs or apps. HomeView brings security, energy, and critical home insights together in one intuitive view, so customers can instantly understand what’s happening in their home and act with confidence.”

Additional New App Features

In addition to HomeView, Vivint has released several other app updates designed for simplification and customization of the user experience.

• “My Home”: The newly unified “My Home” tab brings security, energy, actions and automation together in one simple, customizable dashboard. Homeowners can rearrange the tiles in order of what matters most to them, from cameras, sensors, and lights to shortcuts, actions, and energy management.
• Dark Mode: Users can now enjoy a darker color palette option designed to reduce eye strain and enhance visibility in low-light settings.
• Insights: Turn technical device, system, and energy data into visual stories about every home’s performance with Vivint’s new approach to insights. See data and information on the system, indoor vs. outdoor temperature comparisons, energy conserved and more, helping you truly understand the value of a smarter, more efficient home.
• “For You”: The new “For You” tab is a personalized section within the Vivint app that showcases helpful account tools, product recommendations and exclusive offers for every home. Users can effortlessly add or remove users, discover new features and products alongside tips that help them and get the most out of their home experiences.

“Vivint offers a truly comprehensive solution for whole home intelligence, and our recent app updates, including the interactive HomeView, give our customers even more customization and control over how they manage their home’s safety, convenience, and energy use,” continued Nye. “Today’s homeowner doesn’t want a house full of individual smart devices, they need a single integrated, solution like Vivint’s that allows every system to work together to achieve a truly intelligent, connected home.”
