You can not arm or disarm the home using Alexa. These commands are the ones that are supported by Alexa:

I guess i did not explain it correctly.
I have in Google Home setup a routine where i tell google i am leaving and it will change the Mode from Arm Home to Arm Away, and another one that does the reverse.

I do not have the ability in Alexa.
The camera all show up as unsupported when i go to try to control them.
Arlo Essential 2nd gen x4 and Arlo Video Doorbell.

I have setup geofencing and that works in the iOS Arlo Secure app.
