Steps for arming and disarming your system

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

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will still be present in your house and arms everything except interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away means you will be away, and all sensors in the home will engage.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

You’ll observe a warning if the system isn’t prepared to arm. To illustrate, an open window or door will cue you to take action. Keep in mind that you may still arm the system by using the above steps. You will then need to verify you would like to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.
