Quick guide to arming and disarming your security system

Before you delve into all the terrific things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll have 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 left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will remain in the home and arms all sensors except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be gone, and everything in your home will arm.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

You’ll notice a notification if something is stopping the system from arming. For example, an open door will urge you to act. It’s worth noting that you may still arm your home’s security by using the instructions above. You will then have to verify that you would like to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.
