Automatically get notified of alerts from Arlo Pro 3 camera to Google Home devices

[HowdyFromAtx]

Hi, 

My question is 2-fold:

1. How do I get notifications on my Google Home devices when Arlo Pro 3 cameras detect someone? Currently just get a notification on my Phone from Arlo, but would be great to get notification on Google Home devices and possibly video on Chromecast / Google TV

2. How do I enable Siren to work during certain hours - so that if there are intruders during night or when I am away from home, Siren helps deter them

1. Create a custom mode for your base station.  Add rules for all the cameras that you want to have active, and specify "Active Siren" in the rule for the cameras you want to use the Siren with.  https://kb.arlo.com/42/What-are-modes-and-rules-and-how-does-Arlo-use-them
2. Now create a schedule that uses your custom mode at night.  Note a schedule entry can't cross midnight, so you will need one entry that ends at 11:59 pm and another that starts at 12:00 am. Of course, use whatever mode you want during the day.  https://kb.arlo.com/4900/How-can-I-set-a-schedule-for-my-camera-in-my-Arlo-account
3. Then enable geofencing to handle the case when you are away from home.  Use your custom mode for "away" and your schedule for "home". https://kb.arlo.com/1085093/How-does-Arlo-Geofencing-work-and-how-do-I-set-it-up

An alternative to (3) is to manually switch into your Siren mode when you leave.
