Arlo Wire-Free Video Doorbell scheduled siren

Hi,

I just upgraded my app on being prompted and I noticed that I am not able to set up a schedule which I had on my doorbell earlier. I had a schedule to activate siren on my doorbell when a motion is detected from midnight to 5:30 AM in the morning. Can anyone suggest if I can achieve that automation in the new app? Thanks.

Do you have other cameras?

If you only have the doorbell, then set up Armed Home to activate the siren, and Armed Away to not activate the siren.

Then create a schedule to switch to Armed Home at midnight, and switch back to Armed Away at 5:30 AM.

I do have a floodlight too.

Also if activate siren on armed home, does it activate the siren only on motion detected? Thanks for your prompt reply.

It works the same way as the modes in the old UI. So you can set it up to activate the siren only on motion detected (or when sound is detected).
