Whilst on the subject, Arlo widget's for Armed Disarmed custom and scheduled mode. Would be good. IFTTT almost do it, but can not access schedule or custom modes.

I am also using IFTTT as a work-around to the geofencing bug. I don't think you have any choice in the IFTTT Arlo applet but to use the Arm mode when exiting an area. The only thing you can do is edit the Arm mode and edit it to modify the camera you want - either tell it to do nothing, or whatever.

There's no way to remove or disarm a camera in the Armed mode. It's a default mode used more for getting newbies going and for troubleshooting so limited editing options are available. I understand that IFTTT doesn't get to use custom modes which makes it hard to customize.

Solved my own problem.... The camera concerned, in Armed mode wound the sensitivity right back to 1%. Now nothing triggers it. I then have a scheduled/ custom mode which use that camera at night.

That's a creative work-around. Good idea.
The IFTTT applet really solved two problems for me. First, using just the Arlo app, I'd find Arlo didn't seem to realize "Sally has left the building!" 🙂 Second, even when it did, half the time, for some reason, it still didn't turn on the away mode specified. I'd get a notice it was in Away mode, but the app would still say Disarmed. Using IFTT and the two IFTTT Arlo applets, it now seems to get both those things right, all the time.
Why the original Arlo app can't do this, but their IFTTT applets can, is a mystery to me. But I'm staying with IFTT now because I know it works.

Turns out 1% sensitivity does still trigger cars driving past. Why is "Do Nothing" greyed out.
I want this camera to do nothing during daylight hours.
Forced to turn off cameras as needed now.

Sorry to hear that. Can you select Armed, then Edit the Rule for the camera you want to change, then tell it to Do Nothing if motion or sound is detected? That wouldn't do everything you want, but maybe it would help.
One thing that I hope Arlo programmers hear from this, is we would like the abilty, in the Arlo IFTTT applet, to select which Mode it uses.

Give the customer the flexibility we want. Leave the default modes for those that want that.
