Quick guide to arming and disarming your home’s security

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

• Tap the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will remain inside your home and arms everything besides interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away indicates you will be leaving, and each sensor in your home will activate.
• To disarm, just slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The Smart Hub will show a message if something is blocking the system from arming. For instance, an open door will prompt you to act. Keep in mind that you may still arm your home’s security by adhering to the above steps. You will then need to verify you wish to circumvent the sensor that isn’t engaged.
