Vivint, an NRG company, on June 3rd announced the launch of Vivint Smart Hub Pro 2. Smart Hub Pro 2 is one of the most advanced home security touchscreens on the market, where homeowners can control their smart devices, personalise experiences, and manage energy usage, all from one central command centre.
Smart Hub Pro 2 features include:
- Comprehensive Security & Monitoring: Our 24/7 command centre connects your security, smart home, and energy devices with award-winning professional monitoring, real-time sensor alerts, and a powerful 100dB siren. When someone approaches your door, the hub automatically displays live video with context like “package detected,” while customizable sound alerts keep you informed.
- Reliable Connectivity: Built-in cellular and battery backup keep your system running during Wi-Fi or power outages, while the dynamic, always-on display provides at-a-glance visibility into system status, alerts, and local weather.
- Whole-Home Communication: View live camera feeds and use two-way talk directly from the hub, enabling simple awareness and communication with connected devices throughout the home.
- Enhanced Performance & Control: With up to 4x more processing power than the Vivint Smart Hub, it delivers faster navigation and quicker video loading, paired with an intuitive, customizable touchscreen interface that keeps preferred controls front and centre.
- Simple Design & Personalisation: Designed to fit any lifestyle and preference with wall or tabletop placement options, plus customizable backgrounds and seasonal themes.
- Easy to Use: Built with a variety of users in mind, so homeowners, kids, guests and caregivers can interact with the system confidently.
Vivint also recently launched its biggest app update ever, giving homeowners complete home control directly in the palm of their hands. Together, Vivint’s latest advancements merge efficiency, ease of use and smart energy management into a simple and intelligent customer experience that only Vivint can provide.
“Homeowners have told us they want all their smart devices to work together in one simple, seamless platform,” said Jim Nye, Chief Product Officer at NRG Consumer. “With Smart Hub Pro 2, we deliver comprehensive, simple control any place, any time, with a hub experience that mirrors our award-winning, customer-loved app experience they already know and trust. Customers can check camera footage, arm their system, lock doors, adjust the thermostat, and control lighting whether they’re at the hub or in the app on the go.
