I have three cameras driveway, front porch and backyard. 

 

After updating to the new UI,

I have tried numerous times to apply my camera schedule via the mobile app and also tried scheduling on the Arlo desktop  website as well with no luck.

I cannot figure out the scheduling/automation process so frustrating. 

For example,  when I get home from work between 10:30pm and midnight I want the cameras on standby so as not to record me pulling in the driveway or walking to the front door. Then I want the cameras to switch to arm away at midnight after I'm inside the house.

Then switch back to standby at 6am. Then switch back to arm away at 11:45am.

 

On my off days, I want the cameras in standby mode all day 6am-midnight because I'm in and out and random times. 

 

I scheduled the standby mode for 10:30p but in end the cameras still record me when I get home because the mode is is "arm away" instead of standby. 

Please help.

    The problem is usually that the "enable list" (right under the automation name) is wrong.  If you are switching between all three modes in your scheduling, then make sure the automations are always enabled (that is, enabled in every mode).

I went back and selected all 3 modes "arm away, arm home and standby" under the schedule name on all my different schedules I had previously setup.

I checked my arlo app dashboard shortly after midnight and the mode had automatically switched to "arm away", so I'm hopeful that the other modes will switch as the system goes through the scheduling throughout the day.

Thank you so much @StephenB
