Orginal Arlo Support with Google Assistant

[Arlouser78]

Arlo casting to google chromecast is intermittent and slow. Ussually says stream unavailable or streams black screen. Please fix

[TravE35]

Any idea when streaming to Chromecast via Google Assistant will be available on the original Arlo wire free cameras. Fairly disappointed that this wasn't rolled out with all the other models.

I'm sure Arlo want to try and have as many customers upgrading their model of camera. There are a lot of us who adopted the use of Arlo cameras very early when there were others on the market much cheaper. Don't forget about the customers that backed your product from the start.
The other cameras are still on the market!

TravE35,

I do not have an ETA on when google assistant integration will be available for Arlo Wire Free cameras. For more information on google assistant, take a look here: How do I connect my Arlo cameras to the Google Assistant app?

Could someone please tell me if the Arlo first gen camera will be supported on google Assistant?

[JamesC]

Jimmyfriend,

No, the original Arlo Wire-Free cameras are not currently supported. For more information, take a look here: How do I connect my Arlo cameras to the Google Assistant app?

If I upgrade the base station to the newer ones will it be supported? Or would I just need to upgrade to the newer arlo pro cameras?

Edit - inapproriate answer.

It's the cameras that need to be supported, not the base stations. At least, that's how I interpret it.

I recently purchased a Google Home mini and was going to purchase an Arlo doorbell, however, I found out the original Arlo is currently unsupported for casting and am waiting to find out if there are any plans for added support.

Make them compatible with google home and cromcast

Hi @SebasHome,

We currently do not have any ETA of when the original Arlo Wire-Free camera will have Google Assistant support. Keep an eye on our website or community for any information regarding this.

It is compatible now if you have a Smart Things Hub.

When are the first gen Arlo users going to get the gratification of a firmware update to be able to sync with Google Home?

We greatly appreciate the community’s contribution and will keep the status of this idea updated as we get new information on its potential implementation. Thank you for posting your idea!

Dear Arlo Employee,

I believe this is less of a new idea and more of a consumer demand.   Or is it time to cancel my Premium subscription?

Make the orginal Arlo compatible with Google Assistant. That way it works with Google hub.

Hi @Arlouser78,

What Arlo camera are you using to cast on your Google Chromecast?

[Arlouser78]

Arlo wireless

[JessicaP]

If you are referring to the Arlo Wire-Free camera, this camera is currently not supported with Google Assistant.You can read more about our Google Assistant and Arlo cameras here: How do I connect my Arlo cameras to the Google Assistant app?

[Arlouser78]

If i click on your link to the cameras you posted it says they are supported

[JessicaP]

Thanks for the notice about that. I have forwarded this information to our team and they are currently looking into this. Once we hear a proper confirmation, we will be sure to let the community know. Thanks again for your patience and understanding!

[Arlouser78]

Seems to me that its time for a firmware update. They work on google assistant and chromecast, just not reliably. Purchased this equipment as a package and did my reasearch about compatibility. As stated before... please fix!

Hi, I have the Arlo pro 2 wireless cameras. VMS3330 is the model number here in the UK. I could not get the cameras to stream the video on Google home. I contacted Arlo support who said it is not supported on the wireless range... which is a shame.

[Vik1471]

I just found this link online which suggests the wireless model does link with Google home...

This is all a bit confusing now?!

Our development team is aware of the situation and is currently investigating the problem. We will be sure to update the community once we hear more information regarding this. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
