Steps for arming and disarming your home’s security

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

• Touch the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay signifies you will still be present inside your home and arms all sensors except interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be leaving, and all sensors in your home will arm.
• To disarm, simply slide down the shield icon and enter your PIN.

You’ll see a notification if something is preventing the system from arming. To illustrate, an open window will cue you to take action. Note that you can still arm the security system by following the above steps. You will then confirm you wish to ignore the sensor that isn’t ready.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Springfield

Even though various users can be set up during the initial installation, you will probably want to add another user at some point. Here’s how you can.

• Tap the menu icon (three dots) on the bottom right of the main screen.
• Tap “Users” and type in your PIN.
• Touch “Add new user” near the bottom.
• Select “Name,” enter the new user, and hit the Next button.
• If you want to give the user remote capability, select email or phone and enter the details to deliver an invite.
• Touch Next and then enter a PIN for the added user.
