• Touch the shield icon on the home screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will be in your house and arms all sensors besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be gone, and all sensors in the home will arm.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

You’ll see a notification if the system isn’t prepared to arm. To illustrate, an open door will cue you to act. It’s worth noting that you are still able to arm the security system by adhering to the above steps. You will then have to verify that you wish to bypass the sensor in question.
