Arlo, the leading brand in smart home security, has announced it is now compatible with all major smart home platforms including Amazon Alexa, Apple Homekit, Google Home Assistant, IFTTT and Samsung Smart Things.
This means customers can enjoy a seamless experience between their Arlo system and their smart home ecosystem.
The cross-ecosystem compatibility means Arlo customers don’t have to choose one ecosystem over another.
“We’re excited to continue innovating by collaborating with our partners to provide Arlo users with added features designed to offer the most robust and seamless smart home security experience possible,” said Brad Little, Vice President & Managing Director APAC. “These expanded capabilities across leading partners represent Arlo’s commitment to delivering peace of mind, regardless of which smart home ecosystem users have in their homes.”
This enhanced compatibility makes it easier for your Arlo customers to keep an eye on the things that matter to them.
These integrations work across Arlo’s indoor and outdoor cameras and video doorbell.
It also means customers can see their notifications on the Arlo app and on select Google, Alexa, Apple and Samsung smart devices.
