Tips for arming and disarming your system

Before you get into all the terrific things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll need to grasp how to arm and disarm your system. It’s straightforward - just follow these instructions:

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay signifies you will remain in your house and arms all devices excluding interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and all sensors in the home will activate.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and input your PIN.

You’ll notice a notification if something is blocking the system from arming. For instance, an open window will prompt you to act. It’s worth noting that you can still arm the security system by using the above steps. You will then have to verify that you wish to bypass the sensor that isn’t ready.
