Steps for arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you delve into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll have to know how to arm and disarm your security. It’s simple - just follow these instructions:

• Touch the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will remain in your house and arms all devices except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be gone, and everything in your home will activate.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

The main screen will post a message if something is blocking the system from arming. For instance, an open window or door will urge you to take action. It’s worth noting that you can still arm the security system by using the above steps. You will then have to verify that you want to circumvent the sensor in question.
