Quick guide to arming and disarming your system

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

• Touch the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay signifies you will still be present in your house and arms all sensors excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be leaving, and all sensors in the home will engage.
• To disarm, just slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

You’ll notice a notification if something is blocking the system from arming. For instance, an open door will cue you to take action. Keep in mind that you may still arm the security system by following the steps above. You will then need to verify you wish to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.
