Arlo Doorbell - Integration with home automation

dvigier — Sun, 11 Nov 2018 19:29:25 GMT

What are the triggers and actions available with the Arlo doorbell to integrate with other "smart" products or IFTTT for automation? I only see "motion detected" as trigger. Is there a way to trigger actions based on whether the button has been pressed?

Also does the doorbell support "actions" that you can execute based on external triggers?

I'm looking at in particular being able to terminate the call from the doorbell (or cancel the message anouncement) when my front door is open. When someone rings the bell and I open the door, I still get a phone call and have to cancel, then I can hear "please leave a message" from the doorbell which is silly since I've already opened the door.

I have a sensor on my front door that monitors whether the door is open or closed. It would be nice to be able to trigger a cancelation of the call or message from the doorbell when the door sensor detects that the door gets open.

dvigier,

Currently, the Arlo Audio Doorbell does not have any IFTTT integrations. The doorbell is however compatible with Alexa. An announcement will be made when more integrations become available.

Is there any intention of being able to tie the doorbell and or cameras into devices like Kevo?

Is there a plan for when IFTTT actions for Arlo Doorbell will be available? I bought Doorbell recently assuming this was already there... activating smart lights based on Doorbell ring or motion detection is my top use case here.

It is advertised to work with Alexa, but many users are experiencing bugs with this! Look on the forum.
