The Vivint Smart Thermostat is a state-of-the-art intelligent climate-control device that can be installed as a
standalone thermostat, or added to an integrated Vivint Smart Home system, to simplify and enhance home
comfort and automation. The thermostat lets the homeowner regulate temperature and humidity inside the
home, as well as balance comfort and energy efficiency in order to optimize savings. The standalone solution
connects the thermostat to the Vivint Smart Zigbee Bridge (paired to the local network), and is managed via
the Vivint mobile app. The integrated solution adds the thermostat to the system with the bridge and uses the
Vivint Smart Hub to manage the thermostat as a component of the larger Vivint Smart Home ecosystem.
The Vivint Smart Thermostat can be installed either DIY by the homeowner or professionally by a Vivint Smart
Home Pro (FSP) technician. Once installed and powered on, the thermostat is added to the system and
configured using the app and the thermostat's buttons. Additionally, you can specify and adjust the various
settings — Heat, Cool, Fan, Humidity, Schedules — directly at the thermostat with the up/down and side
buttons, or remotely via the app screens. Note: The Vivint Smart Thermostat is an indoor use only device.
Key features include — Compact elegant design that blends into the home environment; Optional wall-
covering trim plate; Hidden OLED display that wakes on approach; Easy up/down and menu selection controls;
Downcast LED light indicating current function and status; Strong and reliable Zigbee connection.
This document includes a product description, illustrations, installation instructions, basic operation / user
functionality, as well as technical specifications, standards listings, and regulatory compliance references.
Installation Instructions Outline
This outline provides a summary of the installation procedure for a Vivint Smart Thermostat device, including wiring and attaching. After installing the thermostat, proceed
to the next steps of adding the thermostat to the system (standalone with the bridge, or integrated with the hub), and configuring its settings. The installer, either the
homeowner (DIY) or a Vivint technician (professional), should carefully read all of these steps to ensure a successful installation and optimal performance. For additional
information, refer to the Field Service Smart Home Pros website, or the Vivint Support site.
IMPORTANT: For the standalone thermostat solution, setting up the required Vivint Smart Bridge is a separate procedure. For instructions, see the next page(xref here).
To install the thermostat, follow these steps:
Thermostat (back / inside view) —
1. Test the existing HVAC system. Test the heating and cooling functions to ensure that it is fully
operational. If the HVAC system is not working properly do NOT install the new thermostat.
2. Power down the HVAC system. Go to the circuit breaker box and switch the HVAC breaker to
OFF. NOTE: You should do this prior to working with any wires!
3. Remove the existing thermostat from the back plate. Return to the thermostat and remove
the front piece from its back plate.
4. Take a photo of the wiring. Use your camera to take a photo of the current wiring pattern.
You can use this photo to accurately reconnect the wires to the new back plate wire terminals.
5. Disconnect and label the wires. If you are using the app installation/setup screens, follow the
prompts to check/select the wires. Disconnect the wires one by one and label them with the
provided stickers.
6. Remove the existing back plate. Unscrew and remove the back plate from the wall. Be careful
to not let the wires fall down inside the wall. Remove the existing trim plate if necessary.
7. Reconnect the wires to the new back plate. First, lift out the back plate piece from the back/
inside of the thermostat unit. Remove the internal jumper wire. Then, pull all of the wires
through the center hole of the back plate, and using the photo and sticker labels as a
reference connect each wire to the appropriate terminal. NOTE: When inserting the wires,
press down on the terminal connector and release when the wire is firmly in place.
8. Install the new mounting / back plate. Use two screws to install the new back plate on the
wall. NOTE: You can also install the optional trim plate to cover blemishes on the wall. (Take
another photo of the wiring to compare.)
Mounting / Back Plate (front view ) —
9. Power on and boot up the thermostat. Remove the battery pull tabs to apply power from the
4 AA batteries to the thermostat. The Vivint Smart Thermostat will initiate the boot process.
10. Attach the thermostat to the back plate. Push the thermostat on to the back plate until it
snaps securely into place. Proceed to the next steps of adding the thermostat to the system
and configuring settings (see the next page/xref here).

The document includes product descriptions, installation instructions, user functionality, and technical specifications. Installation instructions outline the procedure for wiring and attaching the thermostat, emphasizing the importance of reading all steps for successful installation. Testing the existing HVAC system is crucial before installation, and the HVAC system must be powered down during the process. Photographing the wiring pattern before disconnecting is recommended for accurate reconnection. Proper labeling of wires and ensuring the back plate is level are essential installation tips. The thermostat should always be powered on battery during installation.
- Page 2: Set up the Vivint Smart Bridge To use the Vivint Smart Thermostat as a standalone device, you must have a Vivint account and a Vivint Smart Zigbee Bridge installed and paired to the local network router. To set up and pair the bridge to the local network/system: Create a Vivint account. Download the Vivint app to your mobile device. Open the app and log in to your account. Physically connect the bridge to the local network router using an Ethernet cable. Power on by plugging the power supply into a wall outlet and connecting it to the bridge. Press the Pair button on the bottom of the bridge. Once the bridge is successfully paired, you can use it to connect other Zigbee devices.

To add and configure the thermostat, follow these steps: Add the thermostat to the system by pressing the side button to pair it to the bridge. Configure the thermostat for the HVAC system by selecting options like Heating Type and Fuel. Customize thermostat settings in the app, specifying temperature and other settings. Power up the HVAC system by switching the HVAC breaker to ON. Test the thermostat by turning on the A/C and checking for cool air. Set the schedule by confirming the time zone and customizing weekday and weekend schedules. Operation Overview / User Functionality Once the thermostat is up and running, the user can perform functions at the thermostat and via the app or hub. Adjust heating and cooling temperature levels. Set and modify a schedule. In the app, you can rename the thermostat device, reboot it, factory reset it, or delete it.
