How do you pair your Lafayette smart home to your Amazon Echo or Google Home

Simply adhere to these quick directions to pair your Lafayette smart home to your Amazon devices:

• Alexa will need you to log into your Vivint profile so it can link.

• You are now free to control your Vivint system with your Alexa devices.

If you like Google over Amazon, here is the easiest method to link your Lafayette smart home with your Google Nest:
