Does the Arlo Pro system work with any smart door locks that are available?

Thanks

Bob

Not to my knowledge unless your going some form of IFTTT

Probably not directly, but Arlo integrates with Smartthings, so I'm sure you could create some manic automation between the two. I have mine integrated but haven't played with any automation yet.

Why would you want it to? Motion sensing triggers unlocking of the door?

It would be nice to have the camera capture an image or get triggered by any interaction with the lock.

This would keep the video and image repository smaller and more concise than when just caputring any movement.

With Smartthings you can get granular with your automation. For instance, you could install a motion sensor somewhere and have that trigger your Arlo camera to start recording instantly, so you wouldn't have to wait for the Arlo's motion sensor to kick in. You can incorporate the camera's into smartthings smart home monitoring so if a window sensor is tripped, a camera would start recording. I bet we could trigger a door lock event just as easily to start recording with one of those custom smartapps that is part of smartthings.

Can you set the Smart things door sensor to activate the Arlo siren?
