Vivint Is for You: The Homebody

Jul 14, 2025|

Some people live for social gatherings, travel, and nights out. But for homebodies, the perfect evening means staying in.

If you’re someone who prefers slippers over dancing shoes, the family room instead of the club, and takeout in front of the TV over reservations at the latest hotspot, “home sweet home” isn’t just a saying—it’s a lifestyle.

A Vivint smart home lets you manage everything—energy, security, temperature, and more—from a single platform, all customized to your preferences and controlled through one simple app.

Smarter homes for homebodies

When you think about a smart home, you might picture a system that protects your house while you’re away, or devices that let you control things like temperature remotely.

And while that’s true, smart home technology isn’t just for when you’re gone. A Vivint smart home is the homebody’s dream—turning your space into the retreat you’ve always wanted by giving you complete control over your environment, from temperature to security. It’s a smart home you can control from home.

Take a look at some of the devices that make staying in easier than ever:

Smart home monitoring and control

The heart of every connected home is its hub—the central control unit. From a single touchscreen on your wall, you can manage every aspect of your home, whether you’re watching live camera footage, answering the front door, or disarming your security system.

It’s like a digital butler for your smart home. And with Vivint, you have multiple options for managing it.

  • Smart Hub. The Vivint Smart Hub gives you full control of your home from a central location. This touchscreen panel is the brains of your entire system, seamlessly connecting your devices into a single easy-to-use platform. From the Smart Hub, you can view camera feeds, adjust the temperature, arm your security system, lock doors, and more.
  • Smart speakers. Whether you use Google Home’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri, virtual assistants make your life easier. Use voice commands to launch your favorite streaming app, create playlists, adjust the thermostat, and more—all without lifting a finger.
  • Vivint app. Just because you’re a homebody doesn’t mean you don’t want the convenience of managing your entire home from one app. That’s where the Vivint app comes in. This intuitive tool lets you control your home whether you’re in another room or another state. It also sends notifications for events like triggered alarms, someone at the door, a window left open, and more, so you always know what’s going on.

Doorbell Camera Pro

Let’s be honest—when you’re relaxing at home, the last thing you want to do is get up and answer the door. With the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro, you don’t have to. You’ll get a notification on your phone when someone comes to the door—whether it’s a package delivery, a neighbor, or an unexpected visitor. From there, use one-way video and two-way talk to chat without opening the door (or leaving the couch).

Smart thermostat

The perfect companion for any homebody, a smart thermostat makes finding the right home temperature east. It learns your preferences—whether you like it warm in the morning or cooler at night—and automatically adjusts temperature to keep your home comfortable.

Your smart thermostat keeps your home at just the right temperature so you can focus on relaxing, working, or just enjoying your time at home. Want it a little warmer or cooler? No problem. Use the Vivint app or a smart speaker to adjust it from your phone or with your voice.

A smart thermostat also uses geofencing and GPS data to optimize your home’s comfort and efficiency. When you leave, it adjusts to save energy and money—then returns to your preferred setting before you walk back through the door.

Smart speakers for voice control

Smart speakers are a must for any homebody. These digital assistants are always on call, ready to help with a wide range of tasks that make life easier and more entertaining—all you have to do is ask.

Here a just a few ways smart speakers simplify life at home:

  • Provide entertainment. Whether you want to play music, turn on the TV, or even hear a joke, your smart speaker can help.
  • Hands-free house management. With a single voice command, you can adjust the temperature, lock your doors, or arm and disarm your security system.
  • Keep you informed. Ask for the weather, calendar reminders, news updates, or even add items to your grocery list—your smart speaker has you covered.

Security for your home

Smart homes offer more than convenience—they help keep your home safe, too. A smarter home security system from Vivint gives you peace of mind whether you’re home or away with devices like:

  • Smart locks that lock automatically or via your smart home app, so you never have to wonder if your home is secure.
  • Garage door control that notifies you if you leave it open, then lets you close it right from your phone.
  • Security cameras like the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro, which offers you a clear view of your property and proactive protection. It can identify lurkers, then activate a bright LED light and loud tone to scare them off. And with a hybrid Wi-Fi connection, it stays reliably connected.
  • Professional monitoring is available 24/7, plus one-touch access to the monitoring center via your Smart Hub. Fast, reliable monitoring is key in an emergency, and Vivint delivers industry-leading response times.
