Steps for arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you jump into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll need to understand how to arm and disarm your system. It’s straightforward - just follow these steps:

• Tap the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will still be present in your house and arms all sensors except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away means you will be gone, and everything in your home will arm.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The home screen will display a warning if the system isn’t ready to arm. To illustrate, an open window will cue you to take action. Note that you may still arm the security system by following the above steps. You will then have to verify that you wish to bypass the sensor in question.
