Frequently asked Smart Thermostat questions
What is Smart Comfort?
Smart Comfort is a feature of your Vivint system that automatically adjusts your home’s temperature based on your preferences and home occupancy to help conserve energy. It uses your Vivint thermostat, sensors, and intelligent automation to keep you comfortable while reducing unnecessary heating and cooling, helping lower your energy bills.
During times of high electricity demand, Smart Comfort may also make small, temporary adjustments to your thermostat to help conserve energy, support your community's power grid, and, in some cases, coordinate with your local utility or electric provider. You're always in control and can override any Smart Comfort adjustment at any time.
How does the Vivint Smart Thermostat help save on energy costs?
The Vivint Smart Thermostat saves you money on your heating and cooling costs while you’re at home, away, and asleep.
Using the Vivint Smart Comfort system, it automatically adjusts the temperature using proprietary AI, your selected preferences, and your home activity. Smart Comfort reduces cooling and heating runtime by up to 18%, translating to as much as $300* a year in energy savings.

What is a smart thermostat and how does it work?
A smart thermostat, like the Vivint Smart Thermostat, uses your preferences to automatically adjust your home’s temperature. It also integrates with your smart home technology, allowing you to control your temperature from anywhere.
However, the Vivint Smart Thermostat does even more. With built-in Smart Comfort, it works quietly behind the scenes to reduce unnecessary heating and cooling, so your home stays comfortable and saves energy, without micromanaging.
Find out more in our smart thermostat buying guide.
Is a smart thermostat worth it?
If you could use an extra $300, the Vivint Smart Thermostat is worth your time.
While you sleep, while you work, while you live your life, Smart Comfort is quietly cutting your energy costs up to $300 a year* without you lifting a finger. While programmable thermostats save 3%, the Vivint Smart Comfort system saves 12%. That’s not incrementally better—it’s in a completely different league.

Works great, for precooling home before getting there. works as planned. only giving it 4 stars because I was told that it is supposed to light up as you approach it. It does not, you physically have to prees a button to light it up to see the screen. Not a big deal once you get used to using the app.

When the Thermostat was installed it was wired wrong and I was without air for two days and the temperature was in the 90, but now it’s working like it should because I was asked to call in an HVAC technician until Vivint were able to get someone out to me and that took about two weeks.
