Quick guide to arming and disarming your security system

Before you get into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll need to grasp how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s straightforward - just adhere to these steps:

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay signifies you will be in the home and arms all devices except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away means you will be leaving, and everything in your home will activate.
• To disarm, simply slide the shield icon down and type in your PIN.

You’ll notice a warning if something is preventing the system from arming. To illustrate, an open window or door will cue you to act. Note that you may still arm the system by following the steps above. You will then need to verify you wish to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.
