I've just bought a new Arlo solution with 3 X Arlo HD cams and integrated it with my Alexa system which uses Echo Shows. When I say the command to view any of my cameras with Alexa it just hangs saying "Waiting for Netgear" for about 20 seconds then times out.
I am aware of the workaround to have to say the command twice which does generally work but has anyone got a permanent fix for this yet? Have Netgear addressed this?
Thanks

I assume not based on Netgear's lack of response on the situation. Shocking support.

Arlo engineering is aware of this issue and is currently working on a resolution. I will post an update when I have more information.

A cloud update was released late last week that should address this issue. Are you still seeing the same behavior?

JamesC it still did it on one of my cameras once. I’ll give it more time before I make an assessment because it did work twice on another camera with no fault while just testing Strange thing is on mine a lot of times when it fails, I am able to hear sound just the picture fails to come up. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Where red did you hear about the cloud upgrade?

Still getting the same problem. May be it doesnt fail as much as it did before, I would say success rate first time is about 25% where before it was about 10%

It seems a little better, but I still have times when Alexa fails to connect with the Netgear cameras. Might have to try 2 or more times ..... I hope they get this fixed soon.

I have had the Arlo pro 2 cameras with two base stations and they work fine with the arlo app. I just got an amazon Show and tried to view the front door camera and I get waiting for netapp for about a second then it fails. I tried repeating and tried streaming live from my phone first, neither worked I see this was a problem a year ago, is it still not fixed? This is the main reason I bought a show.

Judging by the fact this has been on going for years without progress, it's unlikely Netgear will ever resolve this. My recommendation would be to send them back and look for a different vendor.

Mine does work about half the time on the first try. it will usually work the second time i try it. The error i get is “camera is not responding”. But messes up on the app some times too. This is with an Arlo Pro. Never recall app problems with Arlo HD but i didnt have the Show yet. Not as dependable as I’d like. And it does not look like they are ever going to fix it.

I just got off the phone with echo tech support. All I did was disable and re-enable the arlo skill and mine works now. I was not expecting it to be that easy.

anyone who recently bought arlo cameras and amazon products to use their integration will be disappointed. i would return them. or be prepared for "waiting for netgear" or "the camera is not responding" much of the time. netgear says "engineering team is aware of this issue' or "investigating the issue" but NOTHING ever gets fixed. its been like this for a year now and amazon just blows you off. buy google home and maybe even different cameras to integrate. netear and amazons reposnse to this issue is beyond sorry.

I'm inclined to agree.
It can't be that hard right, it works in the App and works 20% on Alexa so it's just a fact of investigating why it fails the other 80% of the time.
Wonder if it's Amazon doing it so people buy the Blink? I wish I had now with this botched integration.
