Steps for arming and disarming your security system

Before you delve into all the terrific things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll need to understand how to arm and disarm your security. It’s straightforward - just follow these steps:

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will still be present inside your home and arms all sensors excluding interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away means you will be away, and each sensor in your home will activate.
• To disarm, just slide down the shield icon and input your PIN.

You’ll see a notification if the system isn’t prepared to arm. For example, an open window or door will prompt you to take action. It’s worth noting that you can still arm the security system by following the instructions above. You will then confirm you would like to circumvent the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Muncie

Even though various users can be programmed when your system is installed, you will probably want to add an additional user at some point. Here’s how you can.

• Press the menu icon (three dots) near the bottom right-hand side of the welcome screen.
• Tap “Users” and input your PIN.
• Select “Add new user” toward the bottom.
• Select “Name,” type in the user’s name, and hit the Next button.
• If you want to give the user remote access, choose phone or email and enter the information to deliver an invitation.
• Choose Next and then create a PIN for this new user.
• To take out a user, navigate to the menu, press users, select the user you wish to delete, and then press “Delete User.”
