Arlo: replacement pyarlo module

Sorry for the short reply but I’m traveling.

Change the /config to the directory your configuration.yaml is in. The code will be installed under custom_components in there.

Ben_Ellis · July 2, 2019, 12:40pm

my config is located like this.

/config/configuration.yaml

So what you are saying is do this?

aarlo:
username: “user”
password: !secret aarlo_pw
db_motion_time: 30
recent_time: 10
last_format: ‘%m-%d %H:%M’
no_media_upload: True
config: /config ?

i tried config: “/config”

Ben_Ellis · July 2, 2019, 1:06pm

Here is winscp

Here is the configuration.yaml

When browsing bash in docker
I had /config/config/custom_components.

I think that was the issue. ill confirm soon

Your configuration.yaml is in /use/share/hassio/homeassistant according to your winscp.

If someone is interested in my setup with tensorflow and aarlo - I posted a description of how I set everything up here.

Ben_Ellis · July 9, 2019, 4:26pm

Sorry guys. I got it working. There was also a permissions issue on the folder. I got it working but now my battery_level is reporting in the camera but on the card its just yellow. Anyone experiencing that?

sherrell · July 9, 2019, 9:01pm

@Ben_Ellis

If you hover your mouse over it or click what does it show?

sherrell · July 16, 2019, 6:10pm

@Ralf You can now use https://github.com/twrecked/hass-aarlo as a custom repository for HACS.

I’m going to generate a PR to get me into the default list.

edit: https://github.com/twrecked/lovelace-hass-aarlo will work for the plugin but the card name is different!

Not having much luck installing this…

I added it as an integration source, and the arlo component shows up, however when I install it, nothing happens and it doesnt show up in my installation list.

sherrell · July 16, 2019, 6:57pm

@winter A restart? Both are appearing under the OVERVIEW tab for me.

winter · July 16, 2019, 7:01pm

Actually looks like a problem for me, I can’t get any integrations to install. The plugin worked fine though. I’ll debug…

winter · July 16, 2019, 7:13pm

Permissions error, typical

All good now.

sherrell · July 16, 2019, 7:22pm

Excellent. I was starting to worry…

sherrell · July 16, 2019, 8:01pm

Aarlo is now in HACS.

Both integration and plugin are supported.

Thanks very much!!!

I tried to run the latest version installed via HACS, but when checking the configuration I get an error:

Invalid config for [aarlo]: [refresh_devices_every] is an invalid option for [aarlo]. Check: aarlo->aarlo->refresh_devices_every. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 379). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/aarlo/

sherrell · July 18, 2019, 9:05pm

@ffm777 That’s working for me. Can you check the permission on the aarlo directory. This command will also tell you which version is installed:

grep version custom_components/aarlo/__init__.py

Did you reboot after installation?

ffm777 · July 18, 2019, 9:19pm

I’m on version 0.0.18

Now it is working. I had to restart HA without the “refresh_devices_every” option first. After the restart I could add the option and then the config check worked fine. Now restarting HA with the “refresh_devices_every” option. Let’s see how it goes.

sherrell · July 18, 2019, 9:22pm

I didn’t have to do anything like that so let me know how it holds up.

If you’re feeling brave try the plugin, I just tidied up the JavaScript code to make it (hopefully) neater and use less resources.
