How to Get Arlo Camera to start recording on Button Pressed?

[greg]

There are probably a few ways to do this.

Here is something I did with a flic button.

I had the flic action open a virtual open/close via a uDTH and IFTTT

[OBSOLETE] Universal Virtual Device Type and Translator

This has got to be the sickest DTH ever… The uDTH Ever wished you could turn on a presence sensor with a switch?, or maybe take a lock command and send a motion event? Basically this bad boy accepts these commands: on off open close lock unlock and can turn them into these attribute states: open closed present not present active inactive The following capabilities are presented on the command side: switch door control garage door control lock The following devices are presented on the attribute side: Contact Motion Presence Door Acceleration Illuminance Smoke Water Sound You wire up an instance of this device to two separate apps, and off you go. Add to your repo, and select the device MikeMaxwell : uDTH the repo is owner: MikeMaxwell name: dth [image] [image] [image…

Then use SHM to trigger an arlo recording based off the open sensor through custom SHM rules.
