“Smart lighting has been one of our top requested categories and we’re thrilled to bring this experience to customers,” said Jim Nye, Chief Product Officer at Vivint. “In developing Vivint Smart Lighting, our goal was to create the most user-friendly and effective lighting solution that overcomes common pain points and integrates seamlessly with the Vivint platform. We’re excited to bring this new category to the Vivint suite and to continue expanding the power of our smart home ecosystem.”

Vivint Smart Lighting consists of three core pieces, including:

• Vivint Smart Light Switch: Adhering to the wall, Vivint Smart Light Switch covers up existing light switches and wall plates, regardless of whether you have toggle or rocker switches, with no electrical work required. It can also be placed on surfaces without existing switches, allowing users to “rewire” their home without ever touching a wire. Vivint Smart Light Switch also gives the ability to dim lights with intuitive controls at the switch, with your voice, or through the Vivint app.

• Smart Bulbs: Powered by Zigbee, Smart Bulbs replace existing light bulbs and come in a variety of options, including Standard A19 bulbs, Flood bulbs (BR30), and LED recessed lights, with additional bulbs coming soon. Vivint Smart Lighting is also compatible with most Zigbee-powered bulbs, providing even more flexibility for lighting choices.

• Vivint Smart Lighting Bridge: A dedicated bridge providing dependable wireless communication between Vivint Smart Lighting products and the Vivint Smart Hub, enabling flawless integration with a Vivint smart home system, and expanding smart home and smart security capabilities.

By integrating seamlessly with Vivint system’s automation capabilities, Vivint Smart Lighting comes to life and works alongside existing Vivint sensors, cameras, and other products. Settings can be simply adjusted to make a home automatically come to life as the owner drives up,  avoiding coming home to a dark house. Custom actions can also be used to automatically arm the home and turn off the lights at bed time for example.

Vivint Smart Lighting also powers Away Lighting, an all-new feature giving an always home appearance. Using drop-down settings, users can automate Vivint Smart Lighting throughout the home and set lights to turn on and off in a natural way that makes it appear the home is always occupied.

By integrating seamlessly with an existing Vivint Smart Home system, Vivint Smart Lighting expands the capabilities of Smart Deter, an existing feature that intelligently detects and deters potential threats around the home with audible and lighting alerts.
