wrong spacing.

Correct spacing:

 - id: disarm_arlo_when_arriving
   alias: Set Arlo cameras to Home mode when arriving

You’ll have to fix all lines under alias.

You’re all over the board here. You really need to read and learn yaml. It’s clear you don’t understand the spacing or how the fields work. I suggest reading the docs to figure it out

  1. You are missing the automation section.
  2. Your spacing is off just about everywhere. Please read and understand yaml spacing.
  3. You’re duplicating automations without adding a new bullet.
  4. You have half an automation at the end with no actions.

All the red on the right image is what you were missing.
All the red on the left image is what you had that shouldn’t be there.
