Issues with Alexa Notifications: "Camera X Did Not Arm" But It Arms Later

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing a frustrating issue with their Arlo cameras and Alexa integration. When I ask Alexa to arm my Arlo cameras, I immediately get a notification stating, "Camera X did not arm - try using the Arlo app" but the system actually arms a minute later. This leads to multiple unnecessary notifications that clutter my device. I have 3 cameras, and I get 3 notifications. Every. Single. Time.

I've confirmed that everything is up to date, including firmware and settings. My network connection seems stable as well. It's quite annoying to receive alerts that suggest something is wrong with the system when it actually does arm.

Anyone else has that problem?

Thanks !
