Or, you can incorporate preferences like having your entrances unlock whenever the smoke alarm triggers.

Steps for arming and disarming your security system

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

• Touch 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 in your house and arms everything excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be leaving, and everything in the home will activate.
• To disarm, simply slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

The Smart Hub will show a message if the system isn’t able to arm. For instance, an open window or door will urge you to act. Note that you can still arm your home’s security by adhering to the steps above. You will then need to verify you would like to bypass the sensor that isn’t ready.

How to add or remove users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Stamford

Despite the fact that various users can be programmed when your system is installed, you may want to add another user down the road. Here’s how it’s done.

• Press the menu icon (three dots) at the bottom right of the welcome screen.
• Press “Users” and type in your PIN.
• Choose “Add new user” toward the bottom.
