Tips for arming and disarming your system

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

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay signifies you will be in your house and arms all sensors besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be leaving, and everything in the home will activate.
• To disarm, just swipe down on the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The Smart Hub will display a message if the system isn’t ready to arm. For instance, an open door will cue you to take action. Note that you can still arm the system by using the steps above. You will then have to verify that you wish to bypass the sensor that isn’t ready.
