I was trying to have SmartThings control Arlo. Every time SmartThings would run an automated routine it would change the Arlo mode form SmartThings to disarmed. I went back to geofencing.
I also have IFTTT routines that will arm cameras for night but not return to geofencing mode.
How can I either use SmartThings without changing to disarmed or run an IFTTT applet and return to geofencing when the cameras shut in the morning?

I have a trick that works for me.
First, I open the Arlo app and set the Arlo Base Station to the mode I want. I have mine in Geofencing mode.
Second, once the Arlo app is set to the mode I want, I then power cycle the Arlo Base Station. I have my Arlo Base Station connected to a SmartThings SmartPower outlet so I can toggle it off in SmartThings. I then have a SmartThings Automation that runs when this SmartPower outlet is turned off to turn the SmartPower outlet back on automatically after waiting 10 seconds.
When I do this, my Arlo Base Station stays in the armed mode I've selected while I use various SmartThings Automations and SmartApps to turn on and off the cameras.
