FYI, I solved the problem of the non-support of Arlo Q’s with the following solution:

Problem: I want to turn on/arm the cameras when I leave the home (set in Homey) and turn off/disarm when I’m back.

Steps:

1. Install a Raspberry Pi (Lite is enough), integrate it into your WiFi and enable ssh
2. Create an own user (e.g. “arlo”) via useradd
3. Create an ssh key (ssh-keygen)
4. Install my command line tool under this new user: [https://github.com/thomaswitt/arlo-command-line](https://github.com/thomaswitt/arlo-command-line) (add your credentials in the script and add the .ssh/authorized\_users file with the generated id\_rsa.pub). Make sure it runs correct by invoking it from the command line (e.g. arlo-cl.py list)
5. Install the ssh client app on Homey ([SSH Client App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-ca/app/nl.marcovantklooster.sshclient/SSH-Client/))
6. Configure the ssh client to connect to arlo@pi with the generated id\_rsa by adding a ssh client device
7. Add ssh client to a leaving home flow with the ssh command argument “arm” and to your returning home flow with the ssh command argument “disarm”

Questions and comments welcome.
