Arm/disarm when mobile phone connects to the same Wi-Fi SSID as Arlo

I have an Arlo Q in my  hobby room which is located in the same building as my home. Everytime I visit the room I disarm/arm the Arlo manually. Geofencing doesn't help since both locations are within the same fence.

 

It would be great with a pure Wi-Fi fence, where Arlo can detect when my mobile phone (iPhone) connects to the same router as the Arlo cam. Technically it should be easy for the Arlo app to read the Wi-Fi SSID and trigger an event.

 

This would also give a better accuracy than the geofence, and consume less battery.

Hello great idea, but with rules editor. 

For exemple desactivate when at least on device on a specific list (base on IP address) is on the same network (DHCP MAC reservation )

Ad active when no device detect on local network
