Tips for arming and disarming your security system

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

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will remain in the home and arms everything excluding interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away means you will be leaving, and each sensor in the home will activate.
• To disarm, simply swipe down on the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The Smart Hub will show a warning if something is stopping the system from arming. To illustrate, an open window will cue you to act. It’s worth noting that you may still arm your home’s security by adhering to the steps above. You will then have to verify that you would like to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Prescott

Although many users can be programmed when your system is installed, you will likely want to add or remove a user at some point. Here’s how you can.

• Press the menu icon (three dots) near the bottom right-hand side of the home screen.
• Press “Users” and input your PIN.
• Touch “Add new user” at the bottom.
• Tap “Name,” provide the user’s name, and hit the Next button.
