I got some ultra 2's at costco few days ago. My mom set up them in her email. I added my self in her app as a friend and granted my self access. I then added the alexa skill in my account and linked it to arlo. I then said search for devices. But no arlos found. I can cast to tv. But I would like the skill working so I can use an echo show or something.

The reason I ask is because if you're adding the Arlo Alexa skill as a grant access user, you will not be able to use the skill unless you're a main account holder.

 

If you are the main account holder, try to disable and re-enable the skill and see if that works.

Hi KJSS,

 

Are you trying to add the Arlo Alexa Skill for grant access user or just for yourself as the main account holder?

Actually the cameras started showing up on my account even though I am not the primary.

But now when I say alexa show me the front door on my fire hd 10 or 7 it just says waiting for arlo. Then goes back to main screen.
