The Vivint Sky Control Panel is the heart of your smart home, offering intuitive control over security, lighting, thermostats, cameras, and more. With its sleek 7-inch touchscreen and seamless integration with the Vivint Smart Home app, this state-of-the-art hub empowers homeowners to manage their home from anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re at home or on the go, the Sky Control Panel ensures your home is secure, comfortable, and tailored to your lifestyle.
The Vivint Sky Control Panel, also known as the Vivint Smart Hub, is a wall-mounted control center designed to streamline home automation and security. Unlike traditional alarm panels, this advanced hub integrates a wide range of smart devices into a single, user-friendly interface. From locking doors to adjusting the thermostat, the Sky Control Panel makes home management effortless.
Equipped with a high-resolution touchscreen, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a backup battery, the panel ensures reliable performance even during power outages. Its encrypted cellular connection keeps your data secure, while two-way talk functionality connects you directly to Vivint’s 24/7 monitoring team for instant support.
Security is at the core of the Vivint Sky Control Panel’s functionality. With a single tap, you can arm or disarm your system, view live camera feeds, or check the status of door and window sensors. The panel’s panic button provides instant access to emergency services, ensuring peace of mind in critical situations.
The Sky Control Panel also supports advanced features like motion detectors and doorbell cameras, allowing you to monitor your home in real time. If a sensor is triggered, the panel alerts you immediately and can notify Vivint’s monitoring center to dispatch first responders if needed.
To arm your system, tap and hold the house icon on the home screen. Choose between “Staying” (for when you’re home) or “Leaving” (for when you’re away). If a door or window is open, the system will notify you to prevent false alarms. To disarm, slide the house icon down and enter your 4-digit PIN. The default 60-second entry delay gives you ample time to disarm the system when returning home.
For added convenience, the Vivint Smart Home app mirrors these controls, letting you arm or disarm your system remotely. Forgot to arm the system before leaving? No problem—just open the app and secure your home with a tap.
Beyond security, the Vivint Sky Control Panel excels in home automation. It learns your habits and adapts to your routine, making your home more efficient and comfortable. For example, if you forget to lock the front door after your morning run, the panel can lock it for you automatically.
With Z-Wave compatibility, the panel connects to a variety of smart devices, including lights, locks, garage doors, and small appliances. You can create custom rules to automate tasks, such as turning on the porch light at dusk or unlocking the door when your kids arrive home from school.
The Sky Control Panel lets you set personalized rules and notifications to suit your lifestyle. For instance, you can program the system to turn on your child’s bedroom light every morning or send a notification when the front door opens after school. To create a rule, tap the menu icon, select “Custom Actions,” and follow the prompts to set triggers and actions.
Notifications keep you informed of important events, such as a garage door left open or a package delivery captured by your doorbell camera. These features ensure you’re always connected to your home, no matter where you are.
The Vivint Sky Control Panel works hand-in-hand with the Vivint Smart Home app, extending its functionality to your smartphone or tablet. The app replicates the panel’s interface, allowing you to control your system remotely. Whether you’re at work, on vacation, or in bed, you can check camera feeds, adjust the thermostat, or lock doors with ease.
To set up the app, your Vivint Smart Home Pro will send a remote access invitation to your email during installation. Use the link to create a password, then download the Vivint app (not Vivint Classic) from your phone’s app store. Log in with your email and password to access your system.
The Vivint app is ideal for homeowners who want flexibility and control on the go. It’s especially useful for:
The app also supports advanced features like custom notifications, equipment activity logs, and integration with devices like the Vivint Car Guard, which are exclusive to the mobile platform.

To add additional users, navigate to the home screen, tap the menu icon, select “Settings,” and enter your admin PIN. Choose “Users & Permissions,” then “Add New,” and follow the prompts to enter the user’s information.
For remote access, select the user, enter their email, and send an invitation. They’ll receive a link to set up their app login, ensuring everyone in the household can control the system as needed.
