Steps for arming and disarming your security system

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

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

You’ll see a notification if the system isn’t able to arm. For instance, an open window or door will urge you to take action. Keep in mind that you may still arm the security system by using the instructions above. You will then have to verify that you want to bypass the sensor that isn’t ready.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Las Vegas

Even though many users can be programmed when you first get your system, you may want to add or remove a user at some point. Here’s how to do it.

• Press the menu icon (three dots) at the bottom right-hand side of the welcome screen.
• Tap “Users” and type in your PIN.
• Select “Add new user” near the bottom.
• Select “Name,” enter the user’s name, and tap the Next button.
• If you wish to provide the user remote access, choose phone or email and submit the information to send an request.
• Choose Next and then create a PIN for this new user.
