Has anyone figured out the Modes/Automations??

The previous version had on/off times on the schedule - this one only has ON!

When you want to disarm the cameras, change the mode to standby (with an automation).

If you give details on 

• how many cameras you have
• when you want them on and off

then we can give more tailored advice.

10 Cameras

• On 11PM - record video overnight - all cameras
• Off 6AM - standby - everything off - we are home for the day
• On 8PM - record video and send notifications on perimeter
• On 11PM - overnight again

The previous APP allowed me to set schedules by camera - this new version is only Away/Home/Standby

So 8 pm- 11 pm is some cameras, but not all?

You can manage three combinations of cameras.

• Arm Away already should arm all cameras
• Standby already should disarm all cameras.

So the first step is to configure Arm Home to arm only the perimeter cameras.  If a rule for a camera is not included in a mode, then that camera is automatically disarmed when you use that mode.

After you get that set up and tested, post back and we can move on the the schedule automations you need.

Actually that depended on how your cameras were connected.  You'd have one schedule for every directly connected camera.  But if you used a base station, you'd have one schedule per base.

That said, the lack of custom modes was a big miss on Arlo's part.  Also the automations are too complicated (and can't still don't support all the use cases).  Inyour specific case, you will need to disable the schedule manually when you go away (and want to keep the cameras armed 24x7)

ok thank you - will set for tonight

Than you for this. I tried everything - disengaged and re-set all modes, schedules and automations but it is still not working on the timed schedules. This is so disappointing from a company that was A1 excellent in my books this time last year.

Hey Arlo: Fire the design team that created this new application. Obviously not tested with paying customers (me - 7 years and 10 cameras). Check out the forums and your reviews. Not good.

Please post screenshots of your automations.  The guidance I gave you does work, so there must be something not quite right.

ok - will be right back - thank you again for your help
