Tips for arming and disarming your system

Before you delve into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll want to know how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just adhere to these steps:

• Tap the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will be inside your home and arms all devices except interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be leaving, and all sensors in the home will arm.
• To disarm, just swipe down on the shield icon and type in your PIN.

You’ll notice a warning if something is preventing the system from arming. For example, an open window or door will prompt you to act. Note that you are still able to arm your home’s security by adhering to the steps above. You will then confirm you would like to circumvent the sensor in question.
