Here’s an idea of the functions you can execute:

You can boost convenience even more with your Vivint Smart Hub in Spokane by programming schedules or initiating rules. For example, you can have your smart thermostat automatically adjust nightly at a specified time. Or, you can set rules like having your doors unlock if the smoke alarm trips.

Steps for arming and disarming your security system

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

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

You’ll see a notification if the system isn’t able to arm. To illustrate, an open door will urge you to act. Keep in mind that you can still arm the system by using the steps above. You will then confirm you would like to circumvent the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Add or remove users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Spokane

Despite the fact that many users can be entered when your system is installed, you will likely want to add or remove a user at some point. Here are steps to do so.
