SMART HOME DEVICES THAT WORK WITH VIVINT

With a smart device like a Google Home or Amazon Echo as part of your Vivint system, using simple voice commands allows you to:

• Control your thermostat and home temperatures
• Arm your security system
• Lock and unlock the smart locks on your front door.
• Adjust your smart lighting
• Open and close your garage door

Ask Google or Amazon a question or issue a command and let your voice assistant do its job. And that’s more than setting timers, playing music, or providing news and weather reports. You can also use Google and Amazon to:

• Make lists
• Set reminders
• Control your smart home devices
• Tell stories and jokes
• Play white noise for better sleep
• Help kids with homework
• Answer questions and trivia
• Get a little parenting help

Google and Amazon can also understand two languages at once, making it ideal for bilingual households. 

Your Vivint system works with these voice assistants for easy control. Using devices like Google Home and Amazon Echo, you can link to other smart devices and enable voice control over multiple aspects of your home like lighting, temperature, and locks.

The intuitive smart speaker now supports more than 5,000 smart devices. The Vivint advantage? The ease with which everything connects together, allowing you to control your home with all of its smart devices on one simple platform with the sound of your voice.

While there are several smart devices you can automate with a Google Home or Amazon Echo, as part of your Vivint system you can use simple voice commands to:

• Control your thermostat and home temperatures.
• Arm your security system.
• Lock and unlock the smart locks on your front door.
• Adjust your smart lighting.
• Open and close your garage door.

As part of a Vivint system, the Nest thermostat makes it easy to control temperatures while keeping home comfortable.

• This intuitive thermostat can change temperature based on home occupancy, conserving energy, and reducing utility costs.
• You can adjust temps manually, on the panel in your home, or using the Vivint app on your phone. Pair Nest thermostat with a smart speaker and adjust the temperature with a voice command.
• Nest will automatically shut off air flow in your home’s HVAC system in the event of a fire to impede the spread of flames.

And that’s just the beginning. Working with other smart devices and services, the Nest thermostat can perform a variety of functions like adjusting temps when you’re on your way home to your preferred setting or turning off lights when set to Away mode.

Amazon Echo can bring ease and convenience to people of all ages, but this intuitive device is especially useful for seniors who continue to age in place in their own homes. Alexa can:

• Make daily tasks hands-free. This is especially useful for seniors who suffer from arthritis or struggle with fine motor skills.
• Assist those with vision problems. Seniors can listen to the news or weather forecasts without having to read a newspaper or computer screen.
• Perform basic tasks. With Alexa, seniors struggling with mobility don’t have to get up every time they need to adjust lights or temperatures. They can simply use voice commands.
• Make home a safer place. Alexa makes it easier for seniors to age in place with the ability to call for help using a voice command—an important function in an emergency, such as a fall or other health crisis.
