Question

New user here.  Arlo pro 3 and video doorbell.New user here. Arlo pro 3 and video doorbell. I have a few questions. In the app (iOS) I only see the hub in the Mode section. I want to be able to set different geofencing for the different devices. Mainly, when we’re home, I want the motion for the doorbell armed, but the outdoor cameras disarmed. But when my wife and I are both gone, I want the outdoor cameras armed. Since I only see the hub in my devices under mode, how do I set different rules for each device? To make things more complicated, I have Wink home automation and when I give my nightly shutdown command (thru echo dot thru IFTT trigger to wink) I would like to arm the outdoor cameras. Any suggestions on how to make any of this happen?  

Answer 1

You'll need to create a custom mode with a rule for the doorbell but not for the camera. Then assign that mode to run when geofencing is set and home

@terrie Thanksng I’m looking at that now. Is there not a way to simply set a mode to disarm by device? I created a custom mode but I still have to check ‘if motion detected’ and then set to do nothing. It would seem another check box for ‘disarm’ should exist.

@lennielenno2 nope. In your custom mode, by not creating a rule for a camera, it is by default not armed
