What can you do with the Vivint Smart Hub in Indianapolis?

Connecting wirelessly 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 residence. You may arm your system, program lights, change thermostat settings, and more. If adding a video doorbell, you may even chat with whoever’s on your front porch. The Vivint Smart Hub features a backup battery and built-in cellular connectivity for enhanced reliability. It also provides total remote operation with the Vivint smartphone app.

Here are some of the tasks you can carry out:

• Review current or saved footage from your integrated surveillance cameras
• Disarm or arm your home security
• Toggle lights on or off
• Operate your garage door
• Adjust your home comfort settings
• Communicate directly to monitoring agents

You can enhance convenience even more with your Vivint Smart Hub in Indianapolis by programming schedules or establishing rules. To illustrate, you could have your smart thermostat change automatically each night at a specified time. Or, you can set rules like having your front door unlock if the smoke alarm trips.

Steps for arming and disarming your system

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

• Press the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay signifies you will be inside your home and arms all devices except interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be gone, and everything in your home will activate.
• To disarm, simply slide down the shield icon and input your PIN.

The home screen will display a warning if the system isn’t able to arm. To illustrate, an open window or door will prompt you to act. Note that you can still arm the system by using the instructions above. You will then confirm you want to circumvent the sensor that isn’t ready.

Add or remove users to your Vivint Smart Hub in Indianapolis

Although many users can be entered when your system is installed, you may want to add or remove a user down the road. Here’s how to do it.

• Tap “Users” and type in your PIN.
• Choose “Add new user” at the bottom.
• Tap “Name,” provide the new user, and tap the Next button.
