Tips for arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you delve into all the terrific things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll want to know how to arm and disarm your security. It’s easy - just adhere to these steps:

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

You’ll notice a message if something is blocking the system from arming. For example, an open door will cue you to take action. It’s worth noting that you are still able to arm the system by using the above steps. You will then confirm you want to bypass the sensor in question.
