Steps for arming and disarming your security system

Before you jump into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll want to know how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just follow these steps:

• Tap the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay signifies you will remain in the home and arms everything except interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and everything in the home will arm.
• To disarm, simply slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The Smart Hub will display a warning if something is stopping the system from arming. To illustrate, an open window will cue you to act. Note that you can still arm the security system by using the instructions above. You will then have to verify that you want to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Even though multiple users can be set up during the initial installation, you will probably want to add another user down the road. Here are step-by-step instructions to do so.

• Tap the menu icon (three dots) on the bottom right-hand side of the main screen.
• Press “Users” and type in your PIN.
• Choose “Add new user” near the bottom.
• Press “Name,” enter the user’s name, and tap the Next button.
• If you want to provide the user remote access, tap phone or email and enter the info to dispatch an invitation.
