Works With Vivint: Google, Alexa, Z-Wave and the Device List
Vivint works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice control, with Philips Hue lighting, with Nest and some Ecobee thermostats, and with most Z-Wave locks, lights, and plugs paired to the Smart Hub; it does not work with Apple HomeKit beyond select features, and it never uses third-party cameras because video verification runs only on Vivint cameras. This page tables the integrations by platform, explains voice control, lists the Z-Wave rule, and names what does not work.

Integrations by Platform
The table lists each platform, how it connects, and what it controls, from Vivint's works-with page and 2026 reviews.
| Platform | How it connects | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Alexa | Account link in the Alexa app | Arm, disarm with PIN, locks, lights, thermostat, camera view on Echo Show |
| Google Home | Account link in the Google Home app | Arm, locks, lights, thermostat, camera view on Nest Hub |
| Philips Hue | Account link | Hue lights in Vivint scenes and automations |
| Nest thermostat | Account link (Z-Wave on some older models) | Temperature and Away mode from the Vivint app |
| Ecobee (Z-Wave models) | Z-Wave pairing | Temperature from the Vivint app |
| Z-Wave locks, switches, plugs | Pair to the Smart Hub | Lock, switch, dim, automations |
| Apple HomeKit | Select features only | Not a supported platform |
| Ring, Arlo, Nest cameras | Not supported | Vivint cameras only |
The Vivint vs abode comparison covers the HomeKit alternative.
Voice Control
Voice control runs through a cloud link, not Z-Wave: link the Vivint account in the Alexa or Google Home app, then say the command to a speaker or display. Disarming by voice requires a spoken PIN on both platforms, and camera streams appear on Echo Show and Nest Hub screens.
The Z-Wave Rule
Most Z-Wave Plus locks, switches, dimmers, and plugs pair with the Smart Hub, but Vivint supports only devices it has certified; ask support to confirm a model before buying, and have the technician pair it, because adding devices uses the installer menu.
What Does Not Work
3 things do not work with Vivint: Apple HomeKit as a platform (only select features), third-party cameras of any brand, and Wi-Fi-only smart devices that have no Z-Wave radio and no Vivint account link.
