What can the Vivint Smart Hub in Mesa do for you?

Connecting wirelessly to components with radio wave transmissions and the Z-wave communications protocol, the Vivint Smart Hub is the command center for your property.

Here’s an idea of the tasks you can perform:

• Review current or recorded footage from all connected security cameras
• Arm and disarm your home security

Or, you can set preferences like having your entrances unlock whenever the smoke detector triggers.

Steps for arming and disarming your security system

Before you get into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll want to understand how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s straightforward - just abide by these steps:

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

You’ll see a message if something is blocking the system from arming. For example, an open window will urge you to take action. Keep in mind that you can still arm the security system by following the instructions above. You will then need to verify you want to bypass the sensor that isn’t engaged.
