Hey,

 

Is there any chance of getting a tasker pluging for Arlo.

 

Tasker:  Tasker is an automation utility for android that lets the user set up If CONTEXT is true Then do ACTION type automation.   Tasker is an application for Android which performs tasks (sets of actions) based on contexts (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined profiles or in clickable or timer home screen widgets.

Tasker 

 

If you suplied a tasker plug in that would allow:

Arlo ACTIONS

  1. Set Mode

Arlo CONTEXT

  1. Catch Any Detection Event
  2. Catch Motion Event
  3. Catch Sound Event

 

 

 

This would allow use users to do VERY cool stuff like:

  • If Enter Home Area then Set Arlo Mode to At Home
  • If leaving Home Area then Set Arlo Mode to Armed
  • If recieve txt "Swinging By" then set Arlo Mode to Guest wait 1 hr then set arlo Mode to Armed
  • If connect to HomeWifi then set Arlo Mode to At Home
  • If disconnect from HomeWifi set Arlo Mode to Armed
  • If Arlo Motion detected turn on all lights
  • If Arlo Motion detected send txt to brother "Someone is at my house, can you swing by to check it out".

Since Tasker can also send auto TXT msgs, it can also trigger IfThenThanThat [https://ifttt.com] events which will allow for almost endless possibilities.

This is a great idea. Consider posting this in the Arlo Idea Exchange so that it can receive proper exposure!
