After the latest Android update on 8/7, now each time a camera triggers, I get no less than 3 or 4 push notifications for the each event.  I just got 6 now for one event.  Sounds like they broke something new in trying to fix the bug below in the Release Notes:

  • Fixed a bug that caused push notifications to appear out of order

Can someone take a look at the code here?

sangwinacher,

 

This was an issue a small number of users were experiencing prior to the most recent Android app update. The engineering team is investigating this issue currently. I will provide an update as soon as I know more.

Updated my Pixel 2 to newly available Android P and the issue still persists, in case that helps engineering at all.

Have they provided any insight into this?  Getting almost 30 push notification for 4 camera triggers is getting a bit crazy, especially on my battery.

Now it's consistently sending 3 push notifications per triggered event.

Hi JamesC, what's the status on this one?  Doesn't look like any signs of progress

Same goes to me. It's been so long now. I hope this get's fixed asap. It's very annoying.

They clearly haven't figured it out since the newest app just released today doesn't contain the fix still.

I was hoping this would be a fix but I just tested it & I got 6 notifications for 1 trigger. Annoying. Works but annoying lol.

Yep, same here...

Another release just came out today, just updated hoping they'd surprise us - nope.  I know it's not anything specific to do with motion detection because I got 3 push notifications when the battery level dropped below 15%.  So that tells me it's a base or cloud related issue for multiple push notifications for the same event.

Latest app update today also no dice with any attempt at fixing this one.

I just downloaded the new update now & still ongoing issue. It shouldn't be that hard to fix. There just not listening. Can't wait for the doorbell to come into Canada...lol

I have the same problem on my system, and it's getting really annoying. Every time a camera is activated my phone goes nuts and starts alerting me 3-4 times per camera (and sometimes more)

Has there been any update for this fault?

It only started when I took out the free trial of the advanced notifications (where it tells you if it's a person, animal, car, etc..)

I've never had any of the advanced features, this has been going on for many months with no resolution.

Gentlemen, Is there any resolution to the 3-4 push notifications per camera motion since the the August 18 upgrade?

It is quite frustrating when the system worked great with notifications prior to the upgrade.

 

Thank you.

For those experiencing this issue, please follow these steps and let me know if you still experience the problem after a fresh installation:

 

1. Go to settings > apps & notifications > Arlo > Storage
2. Clear storage and clear cache
3. Uninstall the app
4. Reinstall the app version 2.6.5

 

Do you still experience multiple notifications per event after these steps?
