Setting dusk to dawn routine on Pro 3 cameras (not the floodlit pro 3)

Neil33358 — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 09:44:41 GMT

I am trying to set my Arlo Pro 3 cameras to come on at dusk and go off at dawn, irrespective of whether I am in the house or not. I know I'm not understanding the process rather than a fault with the kit, but can someone list the steps required, please? I need each step without missing anything out. I used to be able to do this ok, but with the latest firmware update and app, I simply can't fathom it. Thank you.

Create these two automations:

Note the Enable List (directly below the automation name). Although you don't care about geofencing, I still suggest enabling the automations in Arm Home, Standby (and not Arm Away).

Then put the system into Arm Home (or Standby) via the dashboard, and the schedule should kick in. You can switch to Arm Away manually if you ever want the cameras enabled 24/7

Do you have the floodlight (or any other Arlo cameras)? If you do, then do you also want these scheduled? Or should they be armed all the time?
