Frequently asked smart home app 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.

Carlos was great, he listened intently, and every excuse I made to postpone the event, he countered with a reasonable resolution, I very seldom make decisions without my wife’s input but Carlos was very convincing, and a pleasure to work with 😃👍

The Best Experience
The technician, Tim, that came to my house, walked me through my house and we came up with a plan. He asked what i wanted from the system, where i had some concerns and took the time to make sure i was getting what i wanted and not just pushed to buy more things i didnt need. I got the basic system for now. I plan to add at least two more cameras in the near future. one for in my barn for livestock and the other to keep an eye on the back yard. He did such a great job with the install making sure it looked clean and how i wanted it before he put in the equipment. We are about a week into the system and it is great i love it so far. it brings peace of mind

The initial install
The initial install. Working through the system now and the majority of the applications look familiar to one degree or another from IFTTT, Smart Things, Arlo and Ring Cameras. Getting familiar with everything but so far so good.

Only 1 complaint with everything else making up for it
Number 1- I don’t like the harassment I experienced after inquiring about a quote. Aside from that Ryan was professional, courteous & kind. Explained everything clearly & the pricing & service is straight forward. The equipment quality remains to be seen but my friends use the company for several years now & I trust that to be a good reason as any to do the same.
