The collaboration builds on Vivint’s integration with the Google
Assistant, which makes it easy to control lighting, locks,
thermostats, garage doors and security features in a Vivint smart
home. For example, you can use simple voice commands to control
your home, such as “turn the lights off,” “Ok Google, lock my
doors,” “...turn up the temperature” or “...arm my system
away.”
“Voice control is the easiest and most intuitive way to
communicate with your smart home, and we want to provide this
experience to more customers,” said Jeff Lyman, chief product
officer at Vivint Smart Home. “The power of the Google Assistant to
hear and interpret voice commands significantly adds to the
convenience of the smart home experience, whether you’re locking
doors, adjusting lighting or changing the temperature.”
Vivint customers can now choose the Nest Thermostat E, in
addition to the Nest Learning Thermostat, which has been part of
the Vivint smart home suite since 2016. The Nest Thermostat E is an
affordable option to help consumers save on energy costs and has a
subtle design to blend into any home. New Vivint customers also
benefit from professional installation of Nest thermostats at no
additional cost.
With the increasing popularity of smart home cameras, Vivint is
offering Google Wifi to enhance connectivity for customers with
doorbell, indoor and outdoor cameras. With Google Wifi, you can set
up multiple access points throughout your home, creating a “mesh”
network that delivers a consistently strong,
secure signal.
“Today the majority of our new customers are purchasing cameras
as part of their customized Vivint smart home,” said Lyman. “Google
Wifi helps eliminate dead zones and is particularly beneficial in
homes that have multiple cameras with 24/7 continuous video
recording.”
