Updated Arlo App.

Updated Arlo app and it removed all of the custom modes. Any idea on how to implement these with the new setup? I can't seem to get this to act like it used to. I don't wany every camera armed/disarmed all of the time. I want more custom modes. This is not an option for me. If this can't be done I will have to move on from Arlo I am afraid.

I have had Arlo since 2018, this feature was great, I can't understand why they remove features and make the product a piece of **bleep**.

You can't. A huge miss by Arlo - I suspect they will be putting these modes back. But no idea when (or if).

You now are limited to three modes, so you can enable three combinations of cameras. That sometimes is enough to implement scheduling.

We had several custom modes as well, especially for workers around the home as well as when we were enjoying our backyard/pool. This is a HUGE miss by Arlo and one of the main reasons I chose this product. If this is not resolved, I will be moving on as well and we’ve had Arlo since late 2017.
