Tips for arming and disarming your home’s security

Before you get into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll need to grasp how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s easy - just follow these steps:

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay signifies you will be in the home and arms all sensors besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be away, and each sensor in your home will activate.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and input your PIN.

The home screen will display a warning if the system isn’t prepared to arm. For example, an open window or door will urge you to take action. Note that you can still arm the security system by adhering to the instructions above. You will then confirm you would like to ignore the sensor in question.

Add or remove users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Dothan

Despite the fact that multiple users can be programmed when your system is installed, you will probably want to add an additional user at some point. Here’s how it’s done.

• Touch the menu icon (three dots) at the bottom right corner of the welcome screen.
• Touch “Users” and enter your PIN.
• Select “Add new user” toward the bottom.
• Tap “Name,” enter the user’s name, and hit the Next button.
• If you wish to supply the user remote capability, choose email or phone and provide the information to deliver an request.
• Choose Next and then create a PIN for the new user.
