Hi,

EDIT : holly ****, just understand i need to configure the 2fa section…

I can’t use the integration someone have an idea ?
I have an arlo wireless ringbell and i am using ha os on a rasberry pi

OK edited my topic,

Integration is working now but :

it need some change to help file, configuring 2fa is a prerequisite as enabled low security application in gmail account…

Thanks a lot !

Does i miss something, or this extension can’t switch motion detection on/off ?.

Thanks !

@sherrell, I believe the the update from 0.7.1 to 0.7.1.2 broke the support for the schedules. At least for me it wasn’t working anymore. For now I reverted back to 0.7.1.

@pinkfloydFR You have 2 choices:

  • You can turn the motion on and off per camera but this turns all the motion off on all the cameras.
  • You can set up base station modes and change the modes. I have armed (all cameras giving motion), disarmed (no cameras reporting motion) and home (outside cameras giving motion).

This is an Arlo to Home Assistant limitation.

@Plevuus I’ll take a look.

Can you show me the way how to do this ? i can’t understand how do it, did you call a service ?

thanks !

@pinkfloydFR
The Aarlo cameras act like every other camera in the system so you can call the standard camera
services against them. If you look here you can see the standard camera services.

And the Aarlo system will provide alarm panels that map onto your camera base stations. You can arm/disarm these using the standard alarm services. See here for an example Aarlo configuration. And here for a lovelace card you can use to arm/disarm the alarm.

Hum, my bad, i didn’t precise my hardware : an arlo wire free doorbell

it seem it doesn’t act like every other camera or alarm…

Alarm panel does’nt recognize my arlo as a compatible entity.

A bit another topic coresponding with the Aarlo:
i found this blueprint which is really great and near to what i want to do: get an information if one of my cameras triggered, including a screenshot.

The problem is that there is no motion sensor.
Instead, i would like to use the sensor.aarlo_last_xxx (xxx=name of camera) sensor to detect motion.
What i am stumbling about is how to get the change generally. Its not of interest when exactlky it ahs triggered.

Thanks in advance for your hints, maybe someone already have done such an automation?

Hi @sherrell , I am having trouble setting up 2fa for my arlo account. I tagged as you seem to have scucessfully set them up?

I have tried both email and push notification and in both method, I am able to get 2fa code via email (and confirm my gmail app password is used by verifying the last time it was used) and push notification on my phone which I promptly approve in hope connection will be established.

For some reason, i kept getting the notification “authentication failed”. One potential error I see is “CloudFlare” component? Could someone help point out?

From Home Assistant Log

Syslog

My configuration.yaml

I have tried replacing the source to tfa_source: email and type to tfa_type: imap and then uncomment the account I used for email 2fa. I have ensured in the arlo android app, I have selected the right 2fa method beforehand; i.e. when i used push, i select the target device as primary option and when i used imap, i have selected the email. Both method failed. Each time HA started, I’ll get a notification that it failed auth.

Thanks

@sherrell Hi Steve,

Another breaking change from the latest beta release.

2021-08-26 06:43:33 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.camera] The camera entity camera.aarlo_alfresco does not support requesting width and height, please open an issue with the integration author

You’re seeing Cloud Flare issues so it’s not even getting to login. It’s a pain and I haven’t found a 100% sure way to fix it yet. Try changing your user_agent in your aarlo config.

aarlo:
  ...
  user_agent: mac

You can try mac, ipad, linux, or firefox. Once your clear up the CloudFlareChallengeError it should work.

901

Thanks. I’ll take a look.

edit: I’ll push a fix later this week

Goodmorning! first of all thanks for this Arlo integration!!
Integration has been working great but now i cannot use the live stream button anymore!
Livestream button is working but no livestream is showed also the full screen button is not working anymore? Is this because arlo updated something or am i doing something wrong? Hope this is the right place to ask a question like this :slight_smile:

UPDATE: i only have problems on my homeassistant app via browser everything works fine???

903

Anyone else having issues with their Arlo integration.

For some reason mine is not updating the motion and sound binary sensor and the cameras show as unavailable. The siren and switch binary sensor don’t work either.

However the camera image does update when the camera is triggered as does captured today and last active time sensor. Any ideas?

To try to help I deleted the integration and removed it from HACS before reinstalling but no luck

904

I’m seeing the same here. The motion detection is happening it just doesn’t appear to be propagating to the front end.

I’ll take a look.

edit: So I was definitely missing some notifications last night. I just rebooted my system and everything is working again. I’ll keep an eye on it and, if things stop working, I’ll poke around in the debug logs.

@sherrell - forgot to update here. Got it working in the end following the user_agent keyword.
