Tips for arming and disarming your system

Before you jump into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll want to grasp how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s straightforward - just follow these steps:

• Press the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay signifies you will remain inside your home and arms all devices except interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be gone, and everything in your home will engage.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and input your PIN.

The home screen will display a message if something is preventing the system from arming. For instance, an open door will urge you to act. Note that you may still arm the system by using the instructions above. You will then need to verify you would like to bypass the sensor in question.
