Steps for arming and disarming your system

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

• Tap the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay signifies you will still be present inside your home and arms all devices except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and all sensors in your home will arm.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and type in your PIN.

The main screen will display a warning if something is stopping the system from arming. To illustrate, an open window will prompt you to take action. Keep in mind that you may still arm the system by adhering to the instructions above. You will then confirm you want to ignore the sensor that isn’t engaged.
