Arlo: replacement pyarlo module

Third party integrations
384

Hi, sorry all new to this but I suppose I need to add some code to get it into custom updater ?
I have the following today:
custom_updater:
card_urls:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card/master/tracker.json
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kalkih/mini-media-player/master/tracker.json
Thanx in advance

I just updated to the latest master, and the aarlo-glance card no longer reacts when I click on it. I can see an image, but I don’t see the library history when I click the little icon and there is no streaming.

Did something change, @sherrell?

387

Mine does that to from time to time. The logs gives me nothing. A restart helps some time.

388

@optilude A few things have changed but nothing that should stop the card from working.

I had to reorder some code to get the device list to work and my current theory is Arlo tweaked the backend.

Try what @Christian_Hollbjar says. One other thing is to remove the pickle file. So:

  • stop home assistant
  • delete <where-you-put-your-config>/.aalro/aarlo.pickle
  • start home-assistant

edit: are either of you two trying the stream component?

389

@sherrell yes, I’m using stream.

Deleting the pickle did not help.

No errors in homeasisstant.log or browser debug console.

390

Also just noticed the “captured today” sensors all show 0 and the “last capture” ones all show “unknown”.

I enabled debug logging for a bit. See https://gist.github.com.

What does work is changing the mode (which I do via a node-red automation and the aarlo_set_mode service)

391

I couldn’t get to those logs, I think the URL was broken.

The oddest thing is I’m missing some captures from early this evening. I then logged into the App and it mentioned a new feature (fire alarm detection), it took about 2 minutes to get my camera details and it forgot my ‘who to call’ list. The App was showing the same thumbnails as Home Assistant.

Now I trip the motion sensors on the camera and captures are working again.

392

Sorry, paste error!

I just triggered motion on one of them and now it’s working again!

Streaming still isn’t (I don’t even see the option to do it) but I may have messed up the config.

393

This module used to work perfectly for me but setting the mode for the Arlo-Q camera has stopped working recently, as far as I can tell everything else still works I just can’t set the mode anymore, anyone else with an Arlo-Q having the same problem?

394

@nrd2001
Did you upgrade recently? Have you tried changing the mode from the web interface recently?

395

I am currently running the latest version, I noticed the Arlo-Q mode setting stopped working a couple of weeks back but I can’t remember what version it last worked with.

Changing the mode through the web interface, service calls etc don’t work for the Q but work perfectly for the Pro base station.

396

Base module seems to be fine but then I added them to the UI I found that after a while the home assistant processes died. About too look at logs but want to see if there is a known issue.

397

@nrd2001 @sytone
Sorry for the issues. Logs would help greatly, this configuration is a good starting place. I don’t need all the logs - there will be a lot - just the ones around the time the issue happened. Thanks.

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    pyaarlo: debug
398

No need to apologise sherrell this replacement module has been a lifesaver and finally made Arlo usable with Home assistant. I’ve tried to extract the relevant info from the logs, if I’ve missed anything you need let me know and I’ll try again. Thanks for this.

No idea if this is the problem but I noticed that it only retrieved the modes from the pro basestation not the Arlo Q (Lounge)

The initial setup of “Lounge” the arlo Q which no longer changes mode:

That’s excellent. Just to clarify, you’re not seeing the mode information come back for the ArloQ camera?

400

Correct, I searched through the complete log and the only modes I could find were the ones for the pro base station.

Cheers

401

You mind giving this branch a go?

https://github.com/twrecked/hass-aarlo/tree/ambient-debug

It’s for a guy who’s having a problem with his Babycam but it uses the old mode API. See if we can get the arloq mode list.

402

Thanks, gave that a try and where it previously got the available modes from the home base station I only get this:

2019-05-27 18:27:34 DEBUG (ArloBackgroundWorker) [pyaarlo] initial refresh
2019-05-27 18:27:34 DEBUG (ArloBackgroundWorker) [pyaarlo] ambient: here23

and I can’t set the mode for the ArloQ or the home base station.

403

Cut and paste issue. It should get further this time*.
