3010 cameras. how can I set my cameras off during the day when I'm home?

[Eddie84]

After a recent update by arlo, I can no longer set my time on and off during the day while at home.

I had the cameras off during the day to save batteries.   But can't figure out to re-set now?

Thanks Guru, but I’m still unable to get Geo Fencing and Schedule to work together.  I’ve setup on/off schedules - they work fine independent from Geo Fence.  I’ve sent up the Geo Fence functions and it works fine.  However, I’m unable to get the schedule and geo fence to work together.  This was easy on the old App - can’t figure it out on the new one.  

Here is the basic requirement… When I’m home, the system should turn on and off based on a schedule routines.  When I’m away, they system should always be on (ignore) the schedule routines.  I’ve tried various combinations of “enable/disable” Automations in the Modes, but can’t get it to meet the basic requirement.  

Any suggestions?

That's not something I've tried but have you looked at the Enable/Disable selections in your automations? I'd think that would be what would be needed. Just quickly, I am not seeing an FAQ that addresses this capability so I'll tag the mods to see what they say. You may want to contact official support for faster results. @JamesC or @ShayneS

Yes, I’ve been trying the enable/disable functions.  I’ve also tried support… The chat bot is awful.  Once I get past the chat bot to a real person, it’s worse.  I’d rather have the chat bot back 😊.  I wish I could return all my Arlo equipment and go with something else.  Everything was great with previous app - Arlo wrecked it 😞

Check out the last post in this thread to see if that helps:

A PM to that user may be useful. I'm at a loss without some specific directions such as an FAQ.

This is the worse system I've ever seen.  The old system, I had trouble setting up my times for on and off, but the new one sucks.  I can't figure it out and have asked for an instruction booklet many times, but it's not available.  I guess I will purchase a different system.
