Re Looking For Advice For Life360 & Scheduling

[richkulasenski]

Hey!

Looking for advice on the correct way to setup my homegrown geofencing since the Arlo Pro functionality is garbage....

I have both Life360 and IFTTT (and stringify)...

My GOAL is to have the folliowing setup

Disarm when someone gets home

Arm when the last person leaves

Arm between 8pm and 8am (regardless if anyone is home or not)

I have the IFTTT rules setup, but my question is about the scheduliing.  Which mode do I leave the Arlo app in to make this effective?  Schedule mode?  If its in schedule mode (which is currently set for arm 8pm-8am), and the last person comes home after 8pm, does it disarm and stay disarmed?  

Or do I not use schedule mode at all, and handle everything via IFTTT, and if so, what would you suggest to get this scenario working?

Thanks!

Hi richkulasenski,

You will need to create a custom schedule with two time blocks & Set The Geofencing schedule.  One block for Mon-Sun 12Am-8AM  The other block set for Mon-Sun 8pm-11:59pm. The Geofencing will be set to Away Mode (ARMED) Home Mode (SCHEDULE).
