Hi all..is there anyway to get the new Arlo app modes  (arm away, Arm home Standby) to show up in Smarthings?
It would be very useful to be able to use them in smarthings automations... 
the old modes did (and still do show up..)

thanks

HI @wakevortex 

 

You can change the Routine of a camera through the Smart Things app. Please find the following How-To article here: https://kb.arlo.com/1132961/How-do-I-integrate-my-Arlo-cameras-into-the-Samsung-SmartThings-app

Thanks Shayne..I’ve been doing that for years, with smarthings/cameras, but I want to get at the new MODES.  Not individual cameras..
Unless I’m missing something, they don’t show in smarthings….

At this time the mode option is not available for the Smart Hub/Base Station. You can adjust per camera level.

"You can adjust per camera level. "
if you mean we can turn cameras on and off..we always could..! thats not the point...
So basically you have removed the ability to control modes with Smarthings

That makes no sense...will it ever return?

I don't have any information at the moment, but I will be sure to provide any updates to this thread.

Thanks..in my view its most definitely a step backward for no obviously good reason
