Snapshots are working for me. I just used {"entity_id":"camera.aarlo_arlo3"} in the service call and it worked
Same error for me when using that method.
How are you calling that service (screenshot)?
Here you are
And the log:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'xcloud_id'Damn, the Alro Q cameras don’t have base stations so no xcloud_id… I’ll fix that.

I just noticed the ‘FFmpeg isn’t running’ message on my docker image. A bit of poking around and I found out the ffmpeg binary in the docker image doesn’t support the rtsps protocol - it stops with a ‘operation not allowed’ error - it support rtsp fine.
As far as I can tell Arlo doesn’t support live streams, clicking on the image would get you the newest library video and ffmpeg only had to convert from mp4 to mjpeg and that worked fine. In Aarlo (notice the double A) the custom card I wrote streams the library videos directly from the Arlo cloud so I can use a <video> tag and things just seems to work better. I’m trying to get live streams going and I ran straight into the error you are seeing. I was testing inside a docker image and once I ran home assistant in a Python virtualenv I could get the live streams to appear.
I think the ffmpeg in the docker and, I presume, inside hass.io needs building to support rtsps. I tried running the docker image as privileged but it made no difference.

@onkelfarmor I just merged some tidy up code into the master, one piece was a possible fix to your snapshot issue, let me know if it works.
If anybody else upgrades the code now uses the new home assistant file structure so you’ll need to remove the old files - there is a shell script called remove_old that will help.
just did the upgrade - so far looking better - can arm now and Baby shows sensor activity for sound - just humidity, temp and air quality showing unknown …
I’m pretty new to working with Arlo since I could never get the arlo component to work. aarlo is working very well.
When I request a snapshot from the service dev tool, I see that the image in the aarlo glance card updates. If the snapshot otherwise stored/accessible somewhere?
I updated at snapshot now works. But I don’t see that the picture updates. I don’t see any pictures in the Arlo app, so I think it must make a video?
I still experience that the Aarlo component “dies” and stops working but the Arlo component continue to work. See log underneath.
Moreover motionsensor don’t have any motion at all.

RuntimeError: unable to perform operation on <WriteUnixTransport closed=True reading=False 0x72a87688>; the handler is closed@ronschaeffer You can retrieve it from the camera_image method of the camera class. That will always return the latest image generated either from a manually snapshot or from motion activity detected by the camera. You can see it in either the aarlo-glance card or the standard picture-entity card. Any where the camera image can be shown.
@onkelfarmor Firstly, I’ve found a Q camera locally so hopefully I can pick it up later this week and work out what is going wrong for you.
But in the meantime… are you ever seeing an image in the picture entity card or custom:aarlo-glance card? One should appear as soon as you enter the camera name as the entity in the configuration. Snapshot shouldn’t make a video - there is a different snapshot call I can use when a video is streaming - but I haven’t got that set up yet.
I think the back trace is from trying to stream the last recorded video using a standard picture-entity card and it looks like ffmpeg dies? Did you add the ffmpeg extra options? That might be the problem in this case.
camera:
- platform: aarlo
ffmpeg_arguments: '-pred 1 -q:v 2'
Does the streaming of the last video work in the curstom:aarlo-glance card? You just click the image and it talks directly to the Arlo servers, bypassing the calls to ffmpeg and the home assistant server.
Got it. Thanks!
This looks really good! Thanks for your effort, can’t wait to be able to test it. Can this be installed on Hassio?
It should work but I’ve never tried it. I think you will have to export your /config directory using samba, mount it on another machine and then follow the installation instructions in the README on github to install to that mounted directory.
I’ll look into this some more tonight.

It works well on hassio all i did is to copy manually the folder and files via Samba thanks for that great integration

I did the same right now and it works great! Thanks for you hard work @sherrell This is really good news for everybody using Arlo!
Why dont you do a PR on existing Arlo module to update it?
Is it possible to start and stop a recording with this component?
@Vennerberg That’s an option. I chose to give it a different name so during testing I (or people) could run the old and new side-by-side. I have to work out how best to get it included this week.
@Stimo Not yet. It’s on the to-do list, along with live streaming. For now I’m concentrating on getting the functionality identical to the old Arlo module.
Maybe I’m late to the party but i had a similar problem,
i changed to
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: aarlo
home_mode_name: Home
away_mode_name: Away
In this case i could only arm “home” and not away.
But when i switched to exactly what you have in your example:
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: aarlo
name: Arlo
home_mode_name: Home
away_mode_name: armed
It works
