Is Arlo-IFTTT working well?

YKC — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 22:54:07 GMT

My IFTTT channel has not been working when Arlo detects motion since June 07, 2016. Am I the only person that has this problem? Or, others have experienced the same. Any suggestion on how to fix the problem, please kindly let me know. Thanks a lot.

This could be an issue with the recipe you are using. Which recipe is behaving this way?

Does Arlo still behave as expected even though the IFTTT recipe is not?

I use Arlo as a trigger in IFTTT.

(1) Arlo still works as is. It still detects motion and records the video.

(2) However, when Arlo detects motion, the IFTTT receipt was not triggered. There seems to be some issue from Arlo detecting motion to IFTTT receipt being triggered.

Based on Daniel's suggestion yesterday, I disabled and re-enabled the channel. It seems to work so far. However, this does not sound like a good long-term solution. It will be great if Netgear investigates the root-cause of the problem.

I don't think it's working yet. It's not possible to create a arm/disarm recipe because the dropdown for "devicename" is empty

The IFFF-Arlo integration seems working partially. I have two Arlo cameras. My latest experiment shows that both of them can work with IFTTT for 2-5 days. However, both of them stopped working after 50 times. I will redo my experiment. It is not clear why both of them suddenly stopped working after 50 times.

Confirmed I'm seeing it cut out at exactly 50 runs of the recepie - definitely a bug !

I ran the experiment once (on two cameras). Again, the Arlo-IFTTT stopped running after 50 times. Is there a way that we file a bug report to Arlo tech support? I cannot find any tech support information on the website.

Any updates? I am also seeing that the receipes will just stop working once they hit 50 executions. Thanks

This issue has been escalated to the engineering team for further investigation. I will post an update as soon as I have more information.

Thank you,

I have also been having issues getting Arlo to trigger my recipe for turning on lights. There must be some network issues between Arlo and ifft or Arlo changed some code on their end but didn't update the integration with ifft. I really do hope they fix this issue!!

I cannot even reconnect to my Arlo IFTTT channel anymore. Is anyone else experiencing this?

@KingStrava- I am seeing the same issue as you when I checked just now.

My Arlo IFTTT channel is no longer working either.

Is this situation being fixed? This is a huge security concern.

Agree, this is unacceptable. I even disconnected my Arlo cameras from IFTTT and tried to make a new channel connection to Arlo and it repeatedly fails. People here waited a long time for Arlo to get an IFTTT channel to make it more useful in a home security setup. If Arlo does not rectify this QUICKLY, they're going to get a lot of bad press on social media which will hurt sales. Maybe then they'll take maintaining their servers and software more seriously.

For those of you who haven't already, open a ticket with support. I was just in a chat session and informed them that their channel was down and the rep stated they weren't aware. I also gave them a link to this post as additional evidence that other users are also seeing the same issue and not just myself.

Also, if you click on the "View Recipe logs" you will see the following error in regards to the Arlo channel: Paused Channels may be experiencing technical difficulties. All Recipes using these Channels will resume once the technical difficulties are resolved.
