So Arlo and SmartThings aren’t currently integrated together yet, and Arlo doesn’t offer an auto away or home feature so I had to come up with a way to automate Arlo into the SmartThings ecosystem. If anyone is currently using Arlo for there home monitoring this should work for the time being. Con…

Boot up on the hub doesn’t take long at all. It takes 1 - 2 minutes tops.

This sounds fantastic, I have been eyeing the arlo system, I’m wondering with the arlo hub being turned off when you are home saves on battery’s in the cameras because they are not streaming? How long have you had the system? Can you comment on the quality of night vision? My other concern his…

That is a great idea! But does anyone here know if and when Arlo will be officially supported by smart things? I read somewhere that SmartThings was officially planning an app. Any information would be be greatly appreciated.

Great news! Arlo is now officially supported by Smartthings. Which means, online monitoring, use of motion sensors, everyting works seamlessly with Smartthings. Check it out, it’s awesome.
