Pairing your Springfield smart home to Alexa or Google

Wouldn't it be great if you were able to control your Springfield security system using only your voice? Take control when you pair your Vivint smart home to your current smart assistant, like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home. Once you launch the Vivint skill, you can fully operate all your security cameras, alarms, and home automation devices via your Nest or Echo speakers. Then when you're preparing to go to bed or leave the house, all you have to do is tell your smart device you’re headed out and watch your home transition into guard mode.

How can you sync your Springfield smart home to your Amazon Echo or Google Home

Follow these quick directions to link your Springfield smart home with your Amazon devices:

• After you configure your Alexa device, enter the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone and click on Skills & Games.

• Search for the Vivint Smart Home Skill. You will see two different Alexa skills: Vivint Complete and Vivint Basic.

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

• You are able to operate your Vivint system with your Echo speakers.

If you prefer Google over Alexa, here is how to sync your Springfield smart home into your Google Nest:

• Open the Google Home App and select the + icon in the top left section.

• Pick set up device and go with the Have Something Already Set Up selection.

• Find Vivint and tap to tether the accounts.

• Allow Google to manage your Vivint equipment and log into your Vivint system.

What voice commands can you use with your Nest or Echo speakers?

You can operate almost every piece of your Springfield smart home through your favorite AI assistant.

Or ask your Nest or Echo device to organize your security system just like you could with the Vivint App.

Check out a few voice commands you will be able to give to your AI assistant:
