    There doesn't seem to be an official API from Netgear Arlo. See this user forums thread:
    https://community.netgear.com/t5/Arl...ers/idi-p/1690

    There are a few unofficial APIs on GitHub, with various levels of functionality:

    Totally agree!

    Anyone made any progress on an Arlo plug-in. I would love it.

    @mbirrell +1, I would also be very interested in your arm/disarm scripts.

    @mstukel - ok I have just completed authentication and now am working on the actual arm/disarm part. My Arlo cams are the only part that isn't able to be controlled by homeseer directly at the moment. It will be good to finish the script.

    I'd just like to add that I've been looking into the new Arlo Pro 2, and should Rich get a plugin working, I would be very interested in purchasing it!

    I'm curious how well the Arlo Solar Panel would work since the "record 3-seconds prior" feature seems to only work when the Arlo is plugged into an outlet. Perhaps the solar panel would suffice to be able to take advantage of that feature.

    Now there's a good idea, I wonder why nobody has suggested it before

    Rick, glad to see you have an Arlo system. Hopefully this means we'll have an integration soon 😀 Currently I treat it as a completely independent system Like you mentioned the key to battery life is to disarm when not needed. For this the Arlo geolocation works quite reliably on my iPhone and I've only had to charge the batteries twice in 8 months.

    Would be great to have some type of integration between HS and Arlo. Something to change the Arlo mode, control a HS device when motion is detected and even trigger recording or take a picture would be awesome. Probably not possible but a local integration would be amazing.

    I guess it's in US - both Arlo and IFTTT servers are in US as well. Here in Australia it's useless...

    For having HS access a url, just use hs.GetURL(...)
    Sounds interesting, but I'm new to HS, can you please provide details what exactly you are doing.
    I'm using Tasker for years, love it.

    Thanks for your suggestion about cascading events, it's a bit simpler.

    Tasker seems interesting, but it's only for Android. Perhaps IFTTT works better on iOS, at least for geolocation, although it does have glitches occasionally.
    How does something like Tasker communicate with HS3?

    I'm interested in triggering IFTTT from HS3 using IFTTT's WebHooks. Any suggestion on an HS3 script that would send a REST request?

    IFTTT's WebHooks is straightforward (for a REST API):
    Make a POST or GET web request to: https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/{my unique key}
    With an optional JSON body of:
    { "value1" : "", "value2" : "", "value3" : "" }

    It can in turn trigger Arlo actions, show a notification, etc.

    Hmm, on Android, I could not get the Gelocation service to work, it triggered randomly, and lots of talk about this issue on the Arlo forum.

    As for your virtual device, you don't really need it. For the IFTTT action, have it trigger an HS event. Then have the action of that event run another event and check the options to honor conditions. A little odd and we should probably have an option to honor conditions when an event is manually triggered. But this would simplify things a little for you.

    I am currently using Tasker on my phone to do the Geolocation, that works perfectly.
