Hi there

Could Arlo please add a Device On control to allow turning the doorbell on and off?

My other Arlo cameras have this but not the doorbell.

It feature would be useful when my family or I are using the door where the doorbell is located a lot (e.g. moving things in and out of the house, or doing gardening directly outside the door etc) - it would be good to be able to temporarily turn off the doorbell so I don't constantly get motion alerts (and consume battery) etc.

Thanks!

Tony

You can use the Disarmed mode to do this. Not sure if the Silent Mode setting in the doorbell settings wopuld be useful here.

Hi jguerdat

I hadn't thought of disarming the system as a way to achieve this - so thanks for your help!

Cheers!
