How to start recording using smartthings and a button

stephanientcumc — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 16:44:50 GMT

I have a SmartThings Button and an Arlo Q Camera. I want when the button is double pressed to start recording for say 1 minute and then turn off.
I can find automations in the smartthing app that will turn on power to the camera, but I don't see how I can tell it to start a recording.

Please help.

I have the same issue.
I've been using the smart things classic app and my Arlo Pro recordings have simply stopped since a few months ago. The classic app still let's me choose recording options.
I've now migrated over to the new smartthings app and no option of recording from my Arlo Pro, Pro 2 or Q cameras. Just the option to switch on!
The issue is definitely on Arlo's side of things as Stringify and IFTTT are affected in the same way.
Sort it out Arlo!
