Hi, I bought an Arlo doorbell last year and started the yearly subscription in September. In December, I purchased a new floodlight, and the free trial subscription is about to end. I want to buy a single subscription for it as I only have two devices. However, I found that the only way the website can do this is to cancel my yearly subscription for my doorbell, refund the unused period (without the yearly subscription discount) to me, and start two individual subscriptions for my two devices. Is this the only option available? All I want to do is add a plan for my new device. I don't want to cancel my current plan and have the two devices start and end together. Additionally, there's no point in suffering by losing the yearly subscription discount.

You'll find they don't refund the unused period (at least not in the US).  So be careful on this part.

It sounds like you actually should be looking for two single camera subscriptions in one account.

You could ask them for a discount to compensate.  No idea if they will do that or not.
