Each night, sometime around midnight, my Arlo pro three flood light turns off as if I turned it off manually in the app.  Every morning, I have to go into the app and manually turn the flood light on.  Is this a known bug and how do I fix the problem?

Yes, we will need that on to troubleshoot the behavior you are seeing.

Randomly, yes.

It seems to be related to smart things. We can look into it further, however we would need these steps done first.

Go to SmartThings Web (my.smartthings.com)

  • Log in to your Samsung Account
  • Select Menu (⋮) and choose Settings
  • Toggle on Account Data Access
  • Select the time period and confirm

Should I select unlimited time?

  • Can you confirm if the behavior is still occurring? If so can I get a time frame that it occurs?
  • Are there any normal (non smart) switches in the home that may control power to those floodlights?

This is still happening, just not as often. It occurs after 7 pm, usually after 10 pm. No other smart switch controls the flood light.

Same issue for me. Floodlight goes offline. It still function if alarm and light turns on if I cross the way. But app (on iphone) say „Offline“. I can see nothing, no video, no live view.

I can reactivate it by turn off and then on my Wlan connection.

Do you have smart switch lights in your home that are activated by Google or Alexa?
