Tips for arming and disarming your system

Before you delve into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll have to understand how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just adhere to these instructions:

• Touch the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will remain in your house and arms all devices except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be gone, and each sensor in the home will engage.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and input your PIN.

You’ll see a message if something is blocking the system from arming. For example, an open window will urge you to take action. Note that you may still arm the security system by using the steps above. You will then need to verify you wish to circumvent the sensor that isn’t engaged.
