Arm or disarm your Xfinity Home Security from your X1 TV Box

Using the Xfinity Home app for Xfinity X1, you can conveniently arm or disarm your system directly from your X1 TV Box.

Arm your system

The quickest way to begin arming your system is by saying “Xfinity Home Arm” into your Xfinity Voice Remote and following the on-screen prompts. To set a specific arm setting, you can also say “Xfinity Home Arm” and the arm setting you want (“Night”, “Away”, or “Stay”).

Otherwise, follow the steps below to arm your system.

  1. Press the Xfinity button on your remote.
  2. Navigate to Apps and select the Xfinity Home app. 
  3. Select security status.

  5. Select an Arm Mode.
    Choose Arm Mode screen in X1 Xfinity Home app
  6. Enter your four-digit security Keypad Code in the Enter keypad code field.
    Security Status screen with keypad code entry window pop-up.
  7. Once entered, arming will begin. Press OK to continue or select Cancel to stop the arming process.
    The arming countdown process displays.

Note: Exiting the application or turning off your TV Box will not stop the arming process.

Disarm your system

Using your Xfinity Voice Remote, say "Xfinity Home Disarm" to skip steps 1-3 and directly open up the Keypad Code screen in step 4.

  1. Alternatively, you can press the Xfinity button on your remote control.

    A popup screen displays the option to enter your PIN in the enter keypad code field.
  5. Once your Keypad Code has been entered (pressing OK on the remote is not required), the system will be disarmed.
    The XFINITY Home app main menu with Security Status option selected.
