Trigger Alexa routine and send notification when Arlo detects a person

Connect

How this automation works

Automatically activate your Alexa routine and receive a phone alert when a person is detected by your Arlo camera. This Applet runs whenever motion detection identifies a person through your Arlo Smart-enabled camera, triggering both a notification and an Alexa action. Perfect for smart home security and awareness when you’re away. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
