Arlo Q and Echo Dot Arm/Disarm with IFTTT

Gbw82 — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 20:06:26 GMT

Is there any update on whether IFTTT and Echo Dot will work with Arlo Q? I have tried multiple times to set up the IFTTT to arm/disarm. When I go into the applet to set it up, I get an error that IFTTT cannot connect to the Arlo service. However, if I were to set up a motion detection IFTTT, it can connect.

I want to be able to use Arlo and Echo Dot to arm/disarm. Geofencing is not always working properly and being able to arm/disarm as soon as one of us come in/leave or when we go to bed would be helpful.

Gbw82,

Several users are experiencing issues creating Arlo applets with IFTTT. This is currently being investigated by the Arlo development team. I will update as soon as I can with any new information I receive on this topic.

So it looks like arm works, but 2 huge issues. You have to have a trigger phrase for each camera, but no way to set up one phrase for all cameras. I'm not sitting at my door giving 3 + different trigger phrases. And, I don't see the disarm IFTTT.

So to me, this is not fixed just yet.
