Tips for arming and disarming your system

Before you get into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll have to understand how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just adhere to these instructions:

• 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 excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away means you will be away, and everything in the home will arm.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

The main screen will post a notification if something is preventing the system from arming. To illustrate, an open window or door will cue you to act. Keep in mind that you may still arm the system by adhering to the above steps. You will then need to verify you want to circumvent the sensor that isn’t ready.
