I have 5 arlo cameras throughout my home. Currently, I do a simple arm and disarm (at the base) upon leaving and returning which works just fine.
Now, I would like my office motion sensor (not the arlo cam motion sensor) to trigger just my office camera when i’m away and someone enters the room. The other 4 cameras would remain disarm since other people are still in the home.
Is this possible?
Are there any examples/pointers on how to do this that you can share?
I’m a newbie so please let me know if you need more information.
Some thoughts:
You can create custom arming modes for the Arlo hub to arm different cameras at different states based on your needs. For instance a Home or Daytime mode might arm just your office camera for motion (on the camera itself).
Using that custom mode you created on Arlo, you can map that to HA so you could select it as needed via HA. Going further, if you’re tracking whether family members are home or away, you could use that state to arm your custom mode or arm the entire system. Check out the mapping of custom modes in the docs:
