Summary:
The article discusses the compatibility of Kwikset and Vivint systems. It highlights that Kwikset locks, such as the Kwikset 620 and Kwikset Halo Touch, work with Z-Wave compatible hubs like SmartThings, Wink, Honeywell, ADT Alarm, Vera, Vivint, or Ring Alarm System. The Kwikset app, however, is not compatible. Vivint equipment is directly compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant devices, and works with the Z-Wave smart home protocol. Kwikset’s Signature Series deadbolt with Home Connect features Z-Wave protocol for remote locking and unlocking. Vivint is partnered with Goosehead Insurance, and homeowners across the United States can avail this partnership. Kwikset is part of the Hardware and Home Improvement (HHI) company, which also manufactures other renowned brands such as Weiser, Baldwin, National Hardware, Stanley, FANAL, Pfister, and EZSET. While the Vivint smart home system is technically compatible with all Kwikset smart locks, it primarily sells the 888 SmartCode model. Vivint equipment is not compatible with Ring, except for devices that work with Z-Wave. There have been lawsuits against Vivint, with one filed in 2020.
