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

Connecting wirelessly to devices through radio wave transmissions and Z-Wave communications, the Vivint Smart Hub is the central command interface for your home.

Here are some of the functions you can execute:

Steps for arming and disarming your system

Before you jump into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can accomplish, you’ll want to know how to arm and disarm your home’s security. It’s straightforward - just follow these instructions:

• Tap the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will remain in the home and arms all sensors excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away means you will be gone, and all sensors in the home will engage.
• To disarm, simply slide down the shield icon and input your PIN.

The home screen will display a notification if the system isn’t prepared to arm. For instance, an open window or door will urge you to take action. Keep in mind that you are still able to arm the system by using the instructions above. You will then confirm you would like to ignore the sensor that isn’t engaged.

Adding users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Manhattan

Despite the fact that multiple users can be set up during the initial installation, you may want to add or remove a user down the road. Here’s how you can.

• Tap the menu icon (three dots) near the bottom right of the main screen.
• Tap “Users” and input your PIN.
• Select “Add new user” toward the bottom.
• Select “Name,” provide the the name you want to use, and tap the Next button.
• If you would like to provide the user remote capability, select phone or email and enter the information to deliver an invitation.
• Hit Next and then enter a PIN for the added user.
• To remove a user, proceed to the menu, press users, select the user you want to delete, and then select “Delete User.”
