Tips for arming and disarming your system

Before you jump into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll need to grasp how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s easy - just abide by these instructions:

• Tap the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will be in your house and arms all sensors except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away means you will be leaving, and everything in your home will engage.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

You’ll see a message if the system isn’t able to arm. To illustrate, an open window or door will urge you to act. Keep in mind that you are still able to arm your home’s security by adhering to the instructions above. You will then have to verify that you want to ignore the sensor that isn’t engaged.
