Arlo Cams coming in few weeks

Yes, I do, but no, this first release only includes support for their wire-free cameras.

is it on the roadmap?

Iā€™m not certain, sorry. I just know that this first version of the integration was only meant to support the wire-free cameras.

I hope so, I have three of the Arlo Qā€™s so Iā€™d love to see them integrated as well. Canā€™t really think this integration is complete without them. The wireless and Qā€™s use the same app so they should use the same HA integration (ST). The wireless cams are a great start since I have 7 of them so I thank ST & Netgear for that. Iā€™m hopeful the integration rocks, canā€™t wait.

Will this work with V1 as it doesnā€™t have camera capabilities?

Yes, this is a Cloud to Cloud integration so it doesnā€™t require the special functionality of the V2 hub.

Top tip for anyone in the UK, Amazon (at the time of writing) has packs of 10 Panasonic CR123A batteries available for Ā£8.11 or Ā£8.47 in their ā€˜warehouseā€™. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B000KVZRK2/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

I just bought four packs (I got them for Ā£8.09 each), and what turned up was perfect condition batteries, still in sealed boxes. Three boxes had 2025 date codes, the fourth had 2026.

Quite a bargain compared to the usual price for branded CR123A batteries, and great as Arlo food!

@Tyler if the mobile update gets pushed out and doesnā€™t come this week, would you please give us the heads up, so I donā€™t have to frantically keep checking the google play?

You can set up notifications for updates on Google play if you like, Iā€™m sure he is very busy.

The mobile update should still come this week, but I got a heads up that something on the Arlo side will require an update that is slated for next week. Release date should be on 8/30.

Thank you! Youā€™re awesomeā€¦

So we wonā€™t be able to do anything with ST & Arlo til next week or 8/30?

Yeah thatā€™s correct, the integration will be going live the last week of this month.

@Tyler hope you guys get a cut from the increase in Arlo sales due to ST future integration. I just ordered another cam to celebrate two years of waiting for this integration to come true! Couldnā€™t wait till 8/30ā€¦

I donā€™t even have ST and ordered because of that. Best Buy had a $100 off the 4 camera setup yesterday.

Thatā€™s $250 in savings plus free base. A regular ad-on is 150 bucks.

Whatā€™s your take on these vs other camera options for ST? Is the deal so good that this makes it a no-brainer.

If you are looking for outdoor cams and donā€™t want to pull wires, then this deal is a no brainer.
