What can the Vivint Smart Hub in St. George do for you?

Wirelessly connecting to components with radio wave transmissions and the Z-wave communications protocol, the Vivint Smart Hub is the command center for your property. You may arm your system, control lights, update the thermostat, and more. When incorporating a video doorbell, you may even speak to someone standing at your door. The Vivint Smart Hub has cellular functionality and a backup battery for added reliability. It also provides convenient remote operability via the Vivint smartphone app.

Here are some of the things you can do:

• View real-time or recorded video streams from your linked surveillance cameras
• Disarm or arm your system
• Turn lights on or off
• Close or open your garage door
• Modify your thermostat’s temperature
• Speak directly to your monitoring center

You can boost convenience even more with your Vivint Smart Hub in St. George by setting schedules or initiating preferences. For instance, you might have your smart thermostat automatically adjust each night at a particular time. Or, you can set preferences like having your entrances unlock whenever the smoke alarm trips.

Quick guide to arming and disarming your system

Before you jump into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll have to know how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just adhere to these steps:

• Press the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will remain inside your home and arms all devices except interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be leaving, and each sensor in your home will arm.
• To disarm, simply slide down the shield icon and enter your PIN.

You’ll see a message if something is preventing the system from arming. For example, an open window will urge you to take action. It’s worth noting that you can still arm your home’s security by following the instructions above. You will then have to verify that you wish to circumvent the sensor that isn’t ready.
