Home security use case, best practice (?)

  1. You should be able to use this to get responses from smartthings when you disarm door lock.

  2. You might not have added her phone as a device yet. Go to add a thing. Then click on add device manually, then go to sensors, then to presence sensor, then you will see mobile phone. And do this with her phone and her phone should show up.
    To auto arm there are a few ways. But I personally feel like using Webcore is your best bet. It will allow you to create any automation you can think of for the most part. Has a bit of a learning period though. But the new webcore is pretty simple and quick compared to the old one. FYI webcore is still being worked on so not completely finished but is in beta testing and a lot of people including myself have already started to use it heavily.

  3. I don’t own arlo myself but I have read on here that you can set it up however you want pretty much. But I don’t want to say too much and give you false information.
