Quick guide to arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you get into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll need to understand how to arm and disarm your security. It’s straightforward - just abide by these steps:

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay signifies you will still be present in the home and arms everything besides interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be gone, and each sensor in your home will arm.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and input your PIN.

The Smart Hub will display a notification if the system isn’t ready to arm. For example, an open door will prompt you to act. Keep in mind that you may still arm the system by using the above steps. You will then need to verify you want to ignore the sensor in question.
