Arlo and ST integration (2023)

In my experience, the Arlo Cameras won’t do anything when Arlo is in Disarmed mode state. The Cameras must be On and in an Arlo Armed mode state for SmartThings to trigger a recording.

So I just leave Arlo set in Armed mode, and then have SmartThings turn On/Off the cameras depending on the SmartThings Armed status. Example, if SmartThings is Disarmed, I have SmartThings turn all of the Arlo Cameras Off so they don’t do anything even though Arlo is set to an Armed mode state. If SmartThings is Armed Away, I have SmartThings turn all of the Arlo Cameras On so that SmartThings can trigger recordings since Arlo is in an Armed mode state.

BTW, here’s a big thread about the latest SmartThings Arlo Schema.

New SmartThings Schema Integration for Arlo

This new integration supports more of Arlo’s newest devices, as well as existing devices that were supported through the existing Groovy cloud-to-cloud integration. Over the next few weeks, SmartThings will migrate Arlo users to the new integration without any impact to their existing devices or automations. We will inform you before that migration begins. What devices does the new integration support? Existing Integration New Inte…
