Wirelessly linking to sensors and other implements with radio frequencies and the Z-wave communications protocol, the Vivint Smart Hub is the central command interface for your home.

Quick guide to arming and disarming your system

Before you get into all the terrific things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll have to grasp how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s straightforward - just adhere to these instructions:

• Press 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 besides interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and everything in the home will activate.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The main screen will show a message if something is blocking the system from arming. For example, an open window or door will cue you to act. Keep in mind that you are still able to arm your home’s security by adhering to the instructions above. You will then confirm you wish to circumvent the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Add or remove users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Albuquerque

Although many users can be programmed when you first get your system, you will probably want to add or remove a user in the future. Here’s how you can.

• Press the menu icon (three dots) at the bottom right corner of the main screen.
• Tap “Users” and enter your PIN.
• Select “Add new user” near the bottom.
• Press “Name,” provide the user’s name, and tap the Next button.
• If you would like to provide the user remote functionality, tap email or phone and submit the details to dispatch an invitation.
• Hit Next and then create a PIN for this new user.
