Tips for arming and disarming your security system

Before you get into all the terrific things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll need to know how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just abide by these steps:

• Tap the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will still be present in the home and arms everything excluding interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away means you will be gone, and all sensors in your home will arm.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and input your PIN.

You’ll notice a notification if the system isn’t prepared to arm. For example, an open window will cue you to act. Keep in mind that you may still arm the system by following the steps above. You will then have to verify that you would like to circumvent the sensor that isn’t ready.
