Adding the Keypad to the System – Network Inclusion

Add the keypad device to the Vivint system using one of the following methods:
This product can be operated in any Z‐Wave network with other Z‐Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as
repeaters regardless of vendor to increase the reliability of the network. S2 security-enabled controller is required to operate the product.

Vivint app (SmartStart): Scan the SmartStart QR code on the box with your smartphone, and then follow the prompts in the app.
(Note: The QR code can also be found inside the battery cover under the batteries.) SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z‐Wave network by scanning the Z‐Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.
Vivint panel/hub via Z‐Wave (Classic Inclusion): Use this standard method for adding Z‐Wave devices at the panel or hub. Use the “PAIR/RESET” button next to
the battery tray. Follow the onscreen prompts to add the keypad.
