Steps for arming and disarming your security system

Before you get into all the terrific things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll need to grasp how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s simple - just abide by these instructions:

• Tap the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will remain in your house and arms everything besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be gone, and each sensor in the home will engage.
• To disarm, just slide down the shield icon and enter your PIN.

The home screen will display a message if the system isn’t able to arm. For example, an open window or door will urge you to take action. Keep in mind that you are still able to arm the system by using the steps above. You will then need to verify you wish to circumvent the sensor in question.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Savannah

Although various users can be set up when you first get your system, you may want to add an additional user down the road. Here are instructions to do so.

• Tap the menu icon (three dots) at the bottom right-hand side of the welcome screen.
• Press “Users” and input your PIN.
• Select “Add new user” near the bottom.
• Tap “Name,” enter the new user, and hit the Next button.
• If you want to give the user remote access, choose email or phone and submit the information to dispatch an invitation.
• Hit Next and then create a PIN for this new user.
• To delete a user, simply proceed to the menu, tap users, select the user you wish to get rid of, and then press “Delete User.”
