Tips for arming and disarming your home’s security

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

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will still be present in your house and arms everything excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away indicates you will be away, and each sensor in the home will activate.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

You’ll see a notification if something is stopping the system from arming. To illustrate, an open door will cue you to act. Note that you are still able to arm your home’s security by adhering to the steps above. You will then confirm you want to ignore the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Provo

Despite the fact that multiple users can be programmed during the initial installation, you will likely want to add or remove a user in the future. Here are steps to do so.

• Press the menu icon (three dots) near the bottom right of the home screen.
• Tap “Users” and input your PIN.
• Select “Add new user” toward the bottom.
• Select “Name,” provide the user’s name, and press the Next button.
