Tips for arming and disarming your security system

Before you jump into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll need to grasp how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s easy - just adhere to these steps:

• Tap the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will be in the home and arms all devices excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away means you will be leaving, and everything in your home will arm.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The Smart Hub will display a message if the system isn’t able to arm. For example, an open window or door will urge you to act. It’s worth noting that you are still able to arm the security system by using the above steps. You will then confirm you wish to bypass the sensor that isn’t ready.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Worcester

Although multiple users can be programmed during the initial installation, you will likely want to add or remove a user in the future. Here are step-by-step instructions to do so.

• Press the menu icon (three dots) at the bottom right of the welcome screen.
• Touch “Users” and input your PIN.
• Touch “Add new user” at the bottom.
• Tap “Name,” enter the new user, and hit the Next button.
• If you would like to provide the user remote functionality, select email or phone and provide the info to send an invitation.
• Choose Next and then enter a PIN for the new user.
• To take out a user, navigate to the menu, touch users, pick the user you want to get rid of, and then press “Delete User.”
