Tips for arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you jump 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 follow these instructions:

• Tap the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will be in your house and arms all sensors excluding interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away means you will be leaving, and all sensors in the home will arm.
• To disarm, just swipe down on the shield icon and input your PIN.

You’ll see a message if the system isn’t ready to arm. For example, an open window or door will urge you to act. It’s worth noting that you may still arm your home’s security by adhering to the above steps. You will then need to verify you would like to bypass the sensor that isn’t ready.
