Feature Request: Audio Announcements when Doors Open and Close

[David_P]

I recently came back to Arlo after having the Pro 2 cameras then switching to a different vendor for their supposed superior system. I did not like that other vendor for a variety of reasons. However, they had one feature that I really liked! We had some contractors going in and out of our house over the summer. Every time they opened one of our doors, that other system would provide a verbal announcment from the base station; "Front door open." A few of the contractors asked what security system we had. Others, just gave us curious looks. We felt that the announcements made it very clear that we had a good security system and if you are thinking of coming back at a later time, you had better think again.

Our new Arlo system Ultra 2 cameras and the security keypad system with 8-in-1 sensors on the doors are very nice. But, all the keypad does is provide a ding when the door opens, To someone visiting the house, the ding could be from a timer or TV or some other sound and have no connection to the door opening.

Please Arlo, I request that you add a feature to provide verbal announcements for the sensors. Another nice announcement would be that when geofencing is activated, if I left the garage door open as I drive away, my iPhone would announce "garage door open" instead of a ding which I am not going to look at while driving.

Oh and by the way, I am much happier now that I am back with Arlo!

Thank you for your consideration of this request.
