Vivint, the largest home automation services company in North America, today announced the creation of the Vivint Innovation Center. The Center, and the employees located there, will focus efforts on building the next generation of products and technology for the company. All technologies developed will be vertically integrated into the company’s solutions in home automation, energy management, home security and solar energy.

The Center is led by Matt Eyring, chief strategy and innovation officer; J.T. Hwang, chief technology officer; Jim Nye, vice president of product development; and Jeremy Warren, vice president of innovation.
