IFTTT support

A lot of new "smart" products have IFTTT support, it makes them smarter. The Homeboy (where I assume Netgear ripped the idea for this product) has solid IFTTT support, so you guys should add it to beat them. Thanks.

The end of April is almost upon us. The cybershack article mentioned above reports that Netgears boss of the Arlo product is promising IFTTT support in April. Well, with 1 week to go, looks like another missed promise. Nothing on their website, nothing on IFTTT! 1 week, if no support, I'm throwing the bloody things in the bin - useless without IFTTT or similar. Sick of waiting and waiting and waiting.

Those of you like me who are sick of waiting and won't buy more till they work with IFTTT, might as well start looking around for cameras that d work with IFTTT today There are many, all cheeper than these as well. Personally, I think I'm going to ebay my arlo's and get the homeboy. IFTTT today, rechargable battery, no hub and cheeper.

Since IFTTT support is not forthcoming, I have begun a transition to another Smart Camera (Nest Cam) system.

I don't think Netgear is going to deliver on this until everyone has already abandoned their system for something better.

Having to turn on arlo when leaving home and turn off arlo when coming home is a pain in the...

You have to learn from canary security system.

Please add IFTTT integration.  Am waiting for that before buying any more Arlo gear.  

I've seen multiple reports that this will happen, but those have always proven false. 

 

If you are not going to do this, go ahead and 'fess up.  

 

Or, at least explain why this is an issue?

Or at least an API that other developers like myself can help to extend the system. 

 

Why so closed?

I second the API idea... I would much rather smartthings integration instead although IFTTT would end up being the middle ground (slower and more rubbish)...

I REALLY want to buy into the Arlo system, but lack of IFTTT support and local storage is a deal breaker. Develop either one of these so you can take my money!!!
