I’ve had my video doorbell for a couple of years now and am happy with it overall. I really enjoy the ability to create custom rules and set a geofence. Unfortunately the options for setting a custom rule are quite limited and I wish there was an option to disable the notifications too. I’m in the midst of my annual summer “battle” with the neighborhood kids where they’ll try to sneak up and ring my doorbell and run away before I get them with my water balloons. It’s fun and we enjoy it but the constant calls to both mine and the wife’s phones gets annoying. I know how to manually turn off the notifications in the settings but then I forget to turn them back on. Would be nice to just have the option to disable this with a rule I could geofence so it automatically disables/ enables base on my location. Please consider this for a future release. Thanks for your time.

Notifications are enabled/disabled per rule in your modes and rules. Use of a custom mode with a rule for the doorbell but with notifications disabled would be the fix. However, Arlo is migrating to a new user interface (UI) that only has 3 default modes and you can add custom ones. Sooner or later your account will be migrated and you'll lose any custom modes so you'd have to use the 3 default ones to do what you need which may be limiting. Just heads-up...
