Lighting control is one of the core functionalities of any smart home control panel, and Vivint's smart panels are no exception. With the Vivint Smart Hub, users can manage their lighting from a centralized touchscreen interface, creating scenes, schedules, and real-time automation triggers.

How It Works

  • Z-Wave Integration: The Vivint panel connects to smart switches and bulbs using Z-Wave

  • Scenes: Users can create “Goodnight” or “Away” lighting scenes

  • Remote Control: Vivint app allows for full lighting management from mobile devices

  • Voice Support: Works with Alexa and Google Assistant

Comparing with Portworld’s Solutions

Unlike Vivint’s closed ecosystem, Portworld offers Android-based or Linux-based smart home control panels that:

  • Support broader third-party light protocols (e.g., Zigbee, Wi-Fi)

  • Allow OEMs to customize lighting scenes and interface

  • Enable local control, cloud-free automation

Portworld’s 4-inch and 5-inch PoE-enabled control panels provide seamless light control integration and a cost-effective, branded alternative.
