Arlo schedule automations NOT working.

[TheElmer]

I have read through other post and nothing has helped me. 

First it started this summer while on vacation. I lost control over the hub and cameras. They where constantly armed and recorded every movement. I couldn't connect and change it to stand by.

When i came back i did a factory reset on the hub, deleted the mobile app and started everything from the beginning. 

Connected all cameras again and created automations schedules.

Tested them and they changed modes. But when i leave them alone nothing happens. I need to manually change mode. 

This is how i have set it up.

What do you mean by "leave them alone" - leaving the house for extended amounts of time? You don't happen to have geofencing (Leave/Arrive) set up, do you?

[TheElmer]

Sorry for the bad wording. 

No i dont have geofencing on. 

I only have the time schedule for arming and stand by. 

But they are not turned on automatically. 

My set up is as the image i provided in the first post. I dont really know what else i need to do.

Edit your schedules and change the top selection (Arm Home or Arm Away) so that all modes are selected. That will change the selection title to Always Enabled. This change should  allow the schedules to work properly.

Thank you for the help. 

I have now tested this Selection of all modes. 

 and now the time schedule is working. 

But i must say, for me this is a very strange setup and not something that is easy to understand. 

Thanks again for the help. 

Best regards

Automations are often enabled in some modes, but not other modes.  The list at the top shows the modes in which your schedule automation is enabled.  Lots of people mistakenly assume it is the same as the mode you want to switch to.  But if you set it up that way, it has no effect (only triggering to change to "Standby" if the system is already in "Standby", and only triggering to change to "Arm Away" if the system already in "Arm Away").

Generally I recommend a somewhat different setup.  I recommend reserving "Arm Away" for when you are really away (and want the cameras armed 24x7 until you return).  With that setup, the schedule switches between Arm Home and Standby, and the enable list for both automations is "Arm Home, Standby".  You leave out "Arm Away" because you don't want to schedule to run when you put the system in that mode.
