Vivint Smart Thermostat  

(VS-ZGBTHERM-001)  

Quick Reference (Overview, Installation, Specs, Regulatory)  

4931 N 300 W Provo, UT 84604  

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).
