Steps for arming and disarming your security system

Before you delve into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll have to know how to arm and disarm your system. It’s simple - just abide by these steps:

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

You’ll notice a message if something is blocking the system from arming. For instance, an open window or door will prompt you to take action. Keep in mind that you can still arm the system by adhering to the above steps. You will then need to verify you want to bypass the sensor that isn’t ready.
