Use the Arlo Skill
After you enable the Arlo Alexa Skill, you can try using these commands:
•
“
Alexa, show me <camera name>.” Start streaming a camera live.
• “Alexa, stop.” Stop an activity and return to your device’s home screen.
• “Alexa, hide <camera name>.” Stop streaming from a camera and return to your device’s
home screen.
•
“Alexa, go home.” Return to your device’s home screen.
• “Alexa, show the last motion detected by my <camera name>.”
To use this command, your Arlo subscription must include viewing past video clips for
your camera.
Set up Alexa to notify you when a camera detects motion
You can use either of these methods:
• In the Smart Home section of the Alexa app, turn on Announcements for your Arlo camera.
•
Create an Alexa Routine from the Alexa app main menu.
Add Arlo devices to the Apple Home app
For the best experience, add your Arlo devices to your Arlo account before you add them to
the Apple Home app. When you add your SmartHub (model VMB5000) to the Apple Home app,
all Arlo devices that are paired to the SmartHub are available in the Home app.
There are two different ways to add your Arlo SmartHub to the Home app, depending on
whether your SmartHub has a HomeKit sticker.
Add a SmartHub with a HomeKit sticker to the Home app
1.
Locate the HomeKit setup code.
The code is on a sticker located on the back or the bottom of your Arlo SmartHub.
2. Open the Apple Home app.
3. Tap
+
at the top of the page on the Home tab and then tap
Add Accessory
