Doesn’t leaving the cameras on decrease the battery life? By using routines to turn specified cameras on and off, I can have the cameras off most of the time. Using this method leaves the cameras on – I integrated the Arlo cameras with ST for two reasons: firstly, to have one less thing to arm or turn on when I leave home and secondly, to try to save battery life as my cameras are n high traffic areas. Hope this helps - you might have to experiment a little. In ST you shouldn’t have to set any notifications as Arlo Will notivy you by SMS, Message or email. Go to the next camera in the devices and do the same for it until you have set them all that way. For that camera and that camera only set it to record video. Under the Devices for each of your cameras you must edit the rules to record video - be aware for each device if you click the down arrow you are able to trigger all of your cameras to record at once. In the Arlo Mode section, edit the Smartthings mode and be sure to look at every area you can edit, (the pencil icons). Use the I’m Home Routine if you want to turn off all the cameras. I am not differentiating between day and night so you might have to do a little experimenting here so you might be able to use the Good Morning Routine and set its mode to Home. You might need to create a new routine for Daytime and select the other 2 cameras and the time you want them to operate.
For the Good Night Routine you can select to turn on the 4 cameras and set the mode to Home and select the time you want the cameras to activate.
For the Goodbye Routine set if to turn on all the cameras and set the Mode to Away. In the Arlo app turn all the cameras off with Night Vision turned on. The downside is that you can no longer arm/disarm your system from the main Dashboard but must arm/disarm it using routines. I will tell you how I integrated my Arlo cameras with Smartthings, but there is a downside to my method -I use routines to select which cameras to turn on/off and when to turn them on/off.
