"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

"I regret ever choosing SafeStreets. The whole process was frustrating from the start. The technician who came to install the system was late, didn’t answer my questions properly, and left my house a mess.

Smart Home and Security I have worked for Vivint Smart home for three years now and have worked with hundreds of families and business owners. This experience has allowed me to continually provide better service but also simplify the process. There is a list options and decide what works best for your home or business. You will then have the opportunity to try out the ideal system to make sure it is a good fit with a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee. Details: Free installation but it does require a subscription, there are no contract options and also equipment financing options. Starts at $45/m with security equipment included List of options: Wireless Security: Perimeter protection Motion Glass Break sensor CO detection Smoke/Fire detection Water sensor Medical Pendant Doorbell Camera 4k Outdoor Camera Indoor Camera 24/7 30 day Smart Hard Drive + Cloud Storage Smart Home: Smart Doorlock Nest Thermostat Element Thermostat Garage Controller Wifi Mesh Systems Lighting/Appliance control What sets us apart is the level of service we will provide, the price point, the lifetime warranty on all equipment and the cellular back up meaning most parts of the system will operate without Wi-Fi. (including video clips) Thank you for taking the time to read this, please contact me if you have any questions or if I can help you in anyway.

"Vivint is the worst company I have ever done business with. Having Vivint is a condition on my lease and, if it wasn't, I would quit in a minute. The company is so cheap about replacing malfunctioning equipment. My front door lock doesn't work and I have been working on getting a replacement for over a month. Still no luck. An appointment is not an appointment but I rough guideline to when someone may or may not show up. There are a lot of alarm companies and I could never recommend Vivint."

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Smart locks offer around the same level of safety as conventional locks with keys. The best way to secure your door locks is to combine routine locking mechanisms with other home safety features, like lighting, motion sensors, security cameras, and window and door sensors. 

Smart locks have the upper hand when it comes to convenience—you won't have to worry about your key not turning in the lock or fumbling around in your bag for your keys—but beyond that, any door with deadbolts will offer a similar degree of security.

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.

Activation involves checking all zones, ensuring proper water flow, and testing for leaks or malfunctions.

Smart switches work with pretty much any light. However, if you plan on using a dimming feature on your smart switch, any LED bulbs you use need to be the dimmable kind. It’s more the wiring of your existing lights that can be a problem. Some smart light switches need a neutral wire, and old houses (built before 1985) don’t always have these. Always check if the model you want needs neutral wiring to operate. 

Smart switches require a neutral wire for correct installation. Neutral wires aren't typically present in a single-pole switch configuration, so this project can be a tricky one for average DIYers. In most cases, you should hire an electrician to run a new circuit or adapt your existing wiring to include a neutral connection to accommodate a smart switch.
