Tips for arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you get into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll need to understand how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just adhere to these instructions:

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay means you will remain in the home and arms all sensors besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and each sensor in the home will engage.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

The Smart Hub will post a notification if something is stopping the system from arming. For example, an open window or door will urge you to act. It’s worth noting that you may still arm your home’s security by using the instructions above. You will then confirm you would like to circumvent the sensor that isn’t engaged.
