Arlo Essential and Smartthings

Awpdk — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 21:43:21 GMT

Hi

Are there any plans for getting the Essential cameras integrated with Smartthings. I just bought three, assuming they would work with ST since my existing 7 gen1 caneras do.

Now it seems like a step back. A hint from Arlo that you are working on this would help a lot.

Thanks

Anders

From what I have seen here the newer cams at least my Pro3 are not yet. I never used ST before but I just got a samsung tv and would like to see information if it is in the works also. I can't say if it is Arlo or ST issue though. There is a thread in partner integrations in this forum about ST.

It’s a goal of Arlo’s to make as many cameras compatible with these integrations as we can but we don’t have an announcement to make regarding Arlo Essential series compatibility at this time.

With the new integration, can someone confirm that pretty much all cameras are now SmartThings-compatible? I'm shopping for a new camera setup but its a hard requirement that anything I buy needs to be ST-compatible.

I can confirm thar Arlo Essentials are working with ST both on hub and on wifi. I have 6 of these cameras on my ST setup.
