Quick guide to arming and disarming your security system

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

• Press the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will still be present inside your home and arms all devices besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be leaving, and everything in the home will arm.
• To disarm, simply slide the shield icon down and type in your PIN.

The Smart Hub will display a warning if the system isn’t prepared to arm. For instance, an open window or door will prompt you to act. Note that you may still arm the system by adhering to the above steps. You will then need to verify you want to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Amarillo

Despite the fact that many users can be set up when your system is installed, you may want to add an additional user down the road. Here’s how you can.

• Touch the menu icon (three dots) on the bottom right corner of the home screen.
• Press “Users” and input your PIN.
• Choose “Add new user” near the bottom.
• Tap “Name,” provide the new user, and hit the Next button.
• If you want to supply the user remote access, select email or phone and enter the details to deliver an request.
• Hit Next and then establish a PIN for the added user.
• To remove a user, just go to the menu, tap users, select the user you would like to delete, and then select “Delete User.”
