I have 3 Arlo Essential Spotlight cameras connected to Apple Homekit via Arlo 4540 Smarthub. I can see the cameras on the Homekit app, but have no controls via Home. I can see the video, but can't do anything else. And Siri can carry out no actions - she doesn't recognise any cameras. Am I missing something? I expected to at least be able to get Siriu to arm and disarm the system.

HI Murranji

 

Here are the available features when integrating with HomeKit. https://kb.arlo.com/000062509

You linked an article that states one can issue Siri commands to control Arlo. Which commands is this article referring to? I can’t find a single command that works. How about arm and disarm/standby? Arlo fails to implement such a useful and fundamental function. Please answer the question instead of linking an article that describes functionality that does not exist!

Im still investigating this info and it's accuracy. At this time it appears the article need to be updated, we do not have control over Apple's Homekit integration to manage Arlo devices as described.
