Hi does anyone have the ring alarm system? Can you link it it with your Arlo cameras?

Join both the arlo and ring to Alexa. after you have discovered the devices, go to Alexa App / Routines/ SmartHome and then you can things like if Ring Alarm is turned on/put arlo camera recording on. or if Arlo camera detects motion, turn Ring light switch on . IFTTT is similar, and may be limited in what's exposed. You have to see what triggers are exposed on the platform I use Alexa Routines to turn my SmartThings hub in Away mode when the RIng Alarm is turned on using Alexa Routines/Smart Home Monitor, as i slowly convert the Door/Window sensors over. Also turn my hue lights on, sonos speaker (connected via SmartThings) speak when the Front Door is opened. See what's available and what works for you
