• Tap the shield icon on the home screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay indicates you will remain in the home and arms all devices except interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away means you will be away, and each sensor in the home will arm.
• To disarm, just slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.
