Single camera arming custom mode

Andrewjl — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 18:29:12 GMT

Operating with the latest software.

After a bit of a struggle I have set up automations to allow certain cameras to auto arm at night a switch to standby during the day.

(Arm home and standby)

However I now wish to add an automation that puts one of those cameras into the armed mode during set times in the day as well.

So far this has proved impossible, partly I'm sure due to the limited and rather, if I may say, pedantic parameters for the modes.

Why not a further mode? and pick a camera?

Any suggestions?

Or is this something for Arlo themselves

Arlo has committed to putting back custom modes, which would restore this capability. Hopefully it will roll out soon.
