Arlo: replacement pyarlo module

Third party integrations
666

Latest of everything. Give me a sec. i have uninstalled it and comented everything out. reinstalling it right now.

667

Adding it back screws it up again.

Have this as config:

aarlo:
  username: ***************
  password: !secret arlo_password
  
alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: aarlo
sensor:
  - platform: aarlo
    monitored_conditions:
    - last_capture
    - total_cameras
    - battery_level
    - captured_today
    - signal_strength
binary_sensor:
  - platform: aarlo
    monitored_conditions:
    - motion
    - sound
    - ding    
camera:
  - platform: aarlo
    ffmpeg_arguments: '-pred 1 -q:v 2'

been runing this for a long time so haven touched it.

668

So you know - the latest update (v0.6.10) is throwing up these errors…

You’re the second person seeing this. Of course, it’s working great for me…

Can I ask, what version of Home Assistant and how are you running it - docker, Pi, virtual env?

670

:slight_smile:
Currently the latest version of HA - 0.105.3, Ubuntu/VE

671

Thanks, I’m running a docker but I have a virtualenv setup somewhere. I’ll give it a go.

672

Weird, trying to rollback to a previous version and still getting the same errors…

673

Looking like a HACS error. Check out this bug report https://github.com/twrecked/hass-aarlo/issues/165

If you roll back a HACS version it might start working again.

And I was using an older HACS version.

Finally got it working thanks to your suggestion - however, it has to be version <= 20.9 of HACS for it to work again.

675

The latest version of Aarlo (0.6.10) now works with the latest version of HACS (0.21.4) but I had to do the following to get both updated and working:

  • Downgrade Aarlo to 0.6.9
  • Update HACS to 0.21.4
  • Update Aarlo to 0.6.10
676

Hope someone can assist.
I just installed aarlo for the first time today and getting a bunch of re-occuring error messages in my log:

2020-02-12 12:34:11 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py”, line 424, in _async_add_entity

File “/config/custom_components/aarlo/sensor.py”, line 139, in device_state_attributes
attrs[‘camera_name’] = self._device.name
AttributeError: ‘PyArlo’ object has no attribute ‘name’

My setup is as follows:
Ubuntu 18.04 server
Home Assistant (Hass.io)
Arlo Camera Support v0.6.0 installed via HACS 0.20.9 (due to some issues with HACS)
I currently have 2 Arlo Pro cameras with the Netgear hub.

My config is as follows:
configuration.yaml

aarlo:
  username: !secret aarlocam_userid
  password: !secret aarlocam_pass
  scan_interval: 300

the rest of my setup is in the form of a package.
aarlo.yaml

##              BINARY SENSOR                 ##
binary_sensor:
  - platform: aarlo
    monitored_conditions:
    - motion
    - sound


##                  CAMERAS                   ##
camera:
  - platform: aarlo
    ffmpeg_arguments: '-pred 1 -q:v 2'  

##                MEDIA PLAYER                ##
#media_player:
#  - platform: aarlo
    

##                  SENSORS                   ##
sensor:  
  - platform: aarlo
    monitored_conditions:
    - last_capture
    - total_cameras
    - battery_level
    - captured_today
    - signal_strength

Lastly, I don’t subscribe to any of their monitoring packages, if that makes a difference.
Would anyone have a clue? Also, is there other freatures that I can add to this config once we get it working?

677

There’s nothing unusual about your setup and your config looks good. A couple of things to check:

  • did you give admin access to your HA Arlo account? It can affect some of the sensors.
  • did you share the cameras with the Arlo account?
  • try removing the sensor component and see if the error changes to a different place?
678

OK, think I found what was throwing the error … for my configuration anyway.
But to answer your questions … Yes, I had admin rights with the account that I was authenticating with, and shared the cameras all along.

I did remove as you suggested the sensor component and the error went away.
So I decided to re-add them one by one and found out that the monitored condition “- total_cameras” would reintroduce the error. My config now looks like this and everything is working fine.

sensor:  
  - platform: aarlo
    monitored_conditions:
    - last_capture
#    - total_cameras
    - battery_level
    - captured_today
    - signal_strength

Thanks for your help in troubleshooting this. In the future, I’ll do my configuration one at a time.

679

Can I double check the version; v0.6.0?

680

I finally got to downloading the app and can confirm, library playback doesn’t work. Somebody else raised a bug here https://github.com/twrecked/lovelace-hass-aarlo/issues/20

This may need the app to be tweaked.

681

my version installed currently is v0.6.9
waiting for HACS to be fixed so that I can upgrade to the latest one

682

@sherrell Your work on this is very much appreciated. You’ve brought new life to Arlo in Hass months ago when the official component was all but dead. Much cheers to you mate

Curious if you ever got this working Jurgmaister? Trying to do the same but with Android Actionable notifications.

685

I did not. I gave up actually. I now have some HIKVision camera planning to run them on blue iris, but have not installed yet.

Sorry i can not help you :cry:

686

Worth a try, thanks and good luck with the HIKVision.
