Steps for arming and disarming your system

Before you delve into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll have to know how to arm and disarm your security. It’s simple - just follow these instructions:

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and slide 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 indicates you will be gone, and each sensor in the home will engage.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide down the shield icon and input your PIN.

The main screen will post a message if the system isn’t prepared to arm. To illustrate, an open window will urge you to take action. Note that you are still able to arm the security system by adhering to the steps above. You will then confirm you wish to ignore the sensor in question.
