Hey Alexa, call my device
How this automation works
Activate your Arlo siren hands-free with a simple voice command to Google Assistant. This Applet runs when you say a custom phrase like “Ok Google, activate [Scene Name],” prompting your Arlo to sound its siren and optionally call your device. Ideal for quickly deterring intrusions or testing your security system using Google Assistant and Arlo working together.
