I guess i did not explain it correctly.
I have in Google Home setup a routine where i tell google i am leaving and it will change the Mode from Arm Home to Arm Away, and another one that does the reverse.

I do not have the ability in Alexa.
The camera all show up as unsupported when i go to try to control them.
Arlo Essential 2nd gen x4 and Arlo Video Doorbell.

I have setup geofencing and that works in the iOS Arlo Secure app.

You can not arm or disarm the home using Alexa. These commands are the ones that are supported by Alexa:
