Steps for arming and disarming your system

Before you delve into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll need to know how to arm and disarm your security. It’s easy - just adhere to these instructions:

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will remain in your house and arms all devices besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and all sensors in the home will activate.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

You’ll see a message if the system isn’t prepared to arm. For example, an open door will urge you to act. Keep in mind that you may still arm the system by using the above steps. You will then have to verify that you want to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.

• Select “Add new user” at the bottom.
