topic Re: arm home and standby in Arlo Ultra 2

System seems to switch modes

A couple of month ago Arlo did an up date, and now you have Arm Away, Arm Home, and Standby. All of my cameras are powered by batteries, except my Arlo doorbell, and garage camera/light. It seems every morning when I wake up, my system is on standby, and I have no recordings. I reset it to Arm Home, and for the day, it is capturing movements that trigger my system. Than, the next morning, it back on standby. How do I get my system to always be on "Arm Home"?

Do you have any automations?

Stephan, I am not sure? How do I check for automations?

Go to the "Routines" page, and then select Automations at the top.

There are two types of automations - schedule and geofencing (Arrive/Leave). If you see any set up, then I suggest deleting them for now.

Stephan, I did see under automations, I did have "schedule 2" as being checked. I turned it off. I also had an option for schedule one, which was not checked. I have left them both unchecked. Hopefully this will do the trick. Thank you.

I'm not sure where you see a check box for those schedules but if you don't want or need them, delete them.

Yes, everything is now working fine. I really hate your updates, and I do not know how many times my settings have changed, and I have to either figure out on my own how to change my settings or contact you. At least you were kind enough to let me know how to get back.

NOT our updates. This is a user-to-user forum, neither @jguerdat not I work for Arlo.
