Is there a good way to trigger an Arlo recording from Alexa?
I can use IFTTT but would need to get the Pro version since I'll need several applets to achieve my overall system goals and because of the way it would have to be configured there might be considerable lag -- Hue motion sensor triggers Alexa routine that turns on Leviton smart switch for exterior lights which launches IFTTT applet to activate 30 second Arlo recording.
I'd prefer if I could just do it all within Alexa and it looks like I could do it all internally to SmartThings but haven't heard the greatest reviews of SmartThings reliability. Open to other ideas or... could Arlo just add support for Alexa triggering a recording? This seems like a no brainer so I presume there must be something else keeping it from happening.
