Does anyone know how I can switch my Arlo service between “Arm Away” and “Standby” without using IFTTT? I know how to trigger Alexa routines, but as far as I can tell, the Alexa / Arlo skill doesn’t Arm/Disarm. I am hoping someone knows a webhook method to accomplish this?

Hi @clancyduncan ,
I don’t use Arlo personally and was not able to find a solution online. Does anyone else?
I have some Arlo cameras but I just use the schedule option in the Arlo mobile app. It works great.
So for each camera you can set the schedule to say arm at 10pm and disarm at 6am and on what days of the week this should happen.

Thanks, Joe, but I want to use logic to turn them on when everyone is gone, and then off when someone comes home. The logic is the easy part, I already have it for other things. Figuring out how to control the cameras is the hard part. I am hoping someone knows a webhook that works???
Ah yes I understand. I did use IFTTT for a while to arm and disarm mine before using Arlos native scheduler in the app. Was there any reason why you don’t want to consider using IFTTT?

This article here suggests it should be possible with Alexa: https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Anyone-got-the-new-Alexa-option-to-disarm-and-arm-working/m-p/1747696
