How this automation works

Trigger your YoLink smart home scene and receive a phone call alert whenever motion is detected by your Arlo camera. This Applet runs when Arlo senses motion and then activates the chosen YoLink scene while also calling your phone with a spoken message. Great for home security or automation when movement is detected. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
