Here are some of the tasks you can carry out:

• Review real-time or recorded video from your integrated surveillance cameras

• Change your smart thermostat settings
• Communicate directly to your monitoring center

You can get even more creative with your Vivint Smart Hub in Cleveland by setting schedules or creating preferences. For instance, you could have your smart thermostat adjust automatically each night at a specified time. Or, you can set preferences like having your doors unlock when the fire alarm goes off.

Steps for arming and disarming your system

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

• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will be inside your home and arms all sensors besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and everything in the home will activate.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.

You’ll see a message if something is stopping the system from arming. For instance, an open window or door will cue you to take action. Note that you are still able to arm the security system by following the instructions above. You will then need to verify you wish to ignore the sensor that isn’t ready.
