Tips for arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you delve into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll want to understand how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s straightforward - just adhere to these instructions:

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will be in the home and arms everything excluding interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be leaving, and each sensor in the home will activate.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and type in your PIN.

You’ll observe a message if the system isn’t able to arm. For example, an open window or door will cue you to act. Note that you are still able to arm your home’s security by following the instructions above. You will then have to verify that you want to ignore the sensor in question.
