Steps for arming and disarming your security system

Before you delve into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll have to understand how to arm and disarm your security. It’s straightforward - just adhere to these instructions:

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay means you will still be present in your house and arms all devices excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away means you will be leaving, and everything in the home will engage.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

The home screen will post a notification if the system isn’t ready to arm. To illustrate, an open window or door will urge you to act. It’s worth noting that you may still arm the security system by using the steps above. You will then need to verify you want to ignore the sensor that isn’t ready.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Kingsport

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

• Press the menu icon (three dots) near the bottom right of the home screen.
• Tap “Users” and enter your PIN.
• Choose “Add new user” near the bottom.
• Press “Name,” type in the new user, and tap the Next button.
• If you want to give the user remote access, select phone or email and provide the information to dispatch an request.
