Arlo Camera Motion Detected Issue- Apple HomeKit
I have been using Arlo cameras for several years now, and so far, I have not experienced any major issues using them with my Apple HomeKit. I have set up an automation that notifies me through my HomePod whenever my front camera detects motion. However, since my house is located on a busy street, to avoid receiving unnecessary notifications, I have established activity zones that only notify me when motion occurs within those zones (zones set through the Arlo app). This setup has been working well for years.
Yet, recently, I have noticed that I am getting notifications for every passing car and blowing tree, even though Arlo still correctly captures the proper activity zones and does not notify me. It seems like Homekit is checking for everything. Is there something wrong with Apple HomeKit and its connection with Arlo, and is there a solution to this problem? The constant notifications are becoming annoying.
