Pairing your Denver smart home to Alexa or Google

Wouldn't it be ideal if you had the ability to power your Denver security system using only voice commands? You can when you connect your Vivint smart home to your preferred AI assistant, like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home. After you activate the Vivint skill, you can control all your alarms, cameras, sensors, and home automation devices with your Nest or Echo device. Then when you're preparing to say goodnight or leave the house, it’s as easy as telling your assistant to guard the house and watch your home transition into guard mode.

• Say yes to both the Basic and Complete skills. The Complete skill enables you complete management of your connected home security and home automation components, but you need to say, "Alexa, ask Vivint to arm the alarms." The Basic skill allows you to control lights, thermostats, and other automation equipment by simply saying, "Alexa, power on the lights."

• Alexa will have you log into your Vivint account so it can pair.

• You are now free to operate your Vivint system with your Echo devices.

What voice commands work with your Nest or Echo devices?

You can use almost every function of your Denver smart home with your favorite AI assistant. Monitor the situation with your smart components, swap to a preset template, or perform minute tweaks of a setting with some simple vocal commands. Or command your Nest or Echo speaker to schedule your system in the same way as you can with the Vivint mobile app.

Here are just a few voice commands you are able to give to Alexa or Google:

• “Change my security system to away.”

• “Lock the back door.”

• “Power off my bedroom light.”

• “Did I forget the garage door open?”

• "Save a clip of my doorbell camera."

• "Lower the heat 5 degrees."

• “Turn off the downstairs light in an hour.”

Save time when you set procedures in your Alexa or Google Home smartphone app that combine many services. For instance, say "Google, I'm leaving," and arm your motion detectors, adjust the thermostat, and secure the doors. Or make a preset for "tv night" and order your home to power off the lights and set the temperature to just the right level.
