Arlo 2 Camera and App Update May2025

[deryckr]

Hi 

The Arlo app has been updated (for IOS and Android) around May 2025, but given the refresh of the app configuration, can someone advise what I need to do to have all my cameras set up as follows:

- All Cameras active and will send notification if motion or audio triggered, Schedule each weekday 6p to 6a.

- All Cameras disabled, Schedule each weekday 6a to 6p.

Asking as the camera schedule profiles which I previously configured before the app update, has been removed.

First, double-check that all cameras are armed in both the Arm Home and Arm Away mode, and that all cameras are disarmed (no camera rules) in Standby mode.

Then you need two schedule automations - one to switch to "Arm Home" at 6 pm weekdays, and one to switch to "Standby" at 6am weekdays.  You haven't said what you want do on weekends - you will need suitable automations for that as well.  If you want the cameras disarmed during the weekends, the simplest way to accomplish that is to run the "Standby" automation every day.

Make sure the enable lists for all these automations are set to enable the automations in "Arm Home" and "Standby", but not in "Arm Away".

You can use these as models (changing the times from sunrise/sunset).

When you go away on vacation, you can manually change the mode to "Arm Away" when you leave.  The schedule will remain disabled until you return.  When you get back, just change it again to either "Arm Home" or "Standby".
