This automation scenario allows you to connect Arlo and Spotify
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.
Arlo and Spotify can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Arlo
This Trigger fires when your Arlo device detects motion.
Then this action happens in Spotify
This action will pause current playback on Spotify. Only available for Spotify premium accounts.
