Frequently asked smart home app questions
What is Comfort IQ?
Comfort IQ is a feature of your Vivint system that automatically adjusts your home’s temperature based on your preferences and home occupancy to help conserve energy. It uses your Vivint thermostat, sensors, and intelligent automation to keep you comfortable while reducing unnecessary heating and cooling, helping lower your energy bills.
During times of high electricity demand, Comfort IQ may also make small, temporary adjustments to your thermostat to help conserve energy, support your community's power grid, and, in some cases, coordinate with your local utility or electric provider. You're always in control and can override any Comfort IQ adjustment at any time.

They took the time to answer my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and confident with my new security system.
