To make your home smart, all you need to do is combine smart components like doorbell cameras, security cameras, smart thermostats, door & window sensors, smoke detectors, and other smart home devices into a unified network with a central control dashboard and an artificial intelligence algorithm. When you install a Vivint system, you can control many smart home devices on one platform, whether from the Vivint app or the touchscreen Vivint Smart Hub. With everything on one platform, you’ll no longer need to switch between different home control apps or walk through the house flipping switches by hand.

But it’s more than just remote controls. Smart home introduces artificial intelligence to transcend the remote controls and programmable settings that have been standard home features for the past several decades, to create a centralized, self-regulating home monitoring, control, and energy conservation ecosystem.
