Can you try setting the mode again? It looks like the base station/camera got updated - the automationRevisionUpdate is new to me.
@sherrell
Firmware on Hub: 1.12.0.1_27940
Firmware on cameras: 1.092.0.12_26228
Also, note that the there is a significant interval between the request and the response. I gave the new request at 12:30 and there has been no response as yet (the state is still disarmed).
2019-03-07 12:30:08 DEBUG (MainThread) [pyaarlo] ArloHome:new-mode=armed,id=mode1
Hi,
Thanks a million for this great custom component!
Even if it may be a stupid question: I can’t trigger the alarm of the base station. In my automation I use:
action:
- data:
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.aarlo_smith_family_base
service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_trigger
I get no alarm sound but the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 241, in _step
result = coro.throw(exc)

NotImplementedError
What am I doing wrong?
I hope this is the right place to ask - if not apologies, this is my first ever post and I’m a total newby.
That’s not supported in aarlo. Yet. But it shouldn’t die too, I’ll look at that.
If you try ‘arm_home’ or ‘arm_away’ that should work.
Thanks for the quick response.
The arm_home and arm_away work fine. I’d just like to trigger the alarm by some other movement sensors around the house when Arlo is armed.
Does the Arlo API support triggering the alarm at all?
@Xirr I believe you can trigger it from the API. If you can trigger it from the camera web page we can do it from inside Home Assistant. My plan was to add alarms withing the coming weeks.
@sherrell I was going to ask if it’d be possible to trigger the alarm - Would be GREAT if you can support it soon, that will make my whole alarm system more solid!
Thanks for your amazing work btw (I can finally use my arlo’s within HA thank to your work)
Hi Sherrell and thank you for that module.
I have a problem when i call a custom mode nothing happen.
I’ve checked the log and no request is even going out.
A weird symptome when i remove the annotation to the custom name mode in my configuration.yaml the home_mode_name: home works in disarming the alarm but not setting my custom mode called home.
any thoughts on this one.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I have a quick question: Is there any way to take a snapshot while the camera is recording and saving that snapshot to a file? I would like to send an iOS notification with a picture which is taken 5 seconds after the recording has started (and in most cases the camera is still recording at that point). Currently, I’m only able to send a notification with an up-to-date image after the recording has finished. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards!
Im getting config errors,
Configuration.yaml
aarlo:
username: !secret arlo_username
password: !secret arlo_password
packet_dump: True
db_motion_time: 30
db_ding_time: 10
recent_time: 10
last_format: '%m-%d %H:%M'
conf_dir: /config/.aarlo
alarm_control_panel:

binary_sensor.yaml
- platform: aarlo
monitored_conditions:

- sound
- ding
camera.yaml
- platform: aarlo
ffmpeg_arguments: '-pred 1 -q:v 2'
does anything seem wrong?
yes indeed i see something wrong
Would you be so kind to tell me where I should start?
@Corey_Maxim I can’t see anything obviously wrong with your configuration. What is “Configuration/Genera/Check Config” button showing you? And do you have the arlo username and password in your secrets file?
@vjmindlab Do you have debug turned on for the aarlo component? That way I’ll be able to see exactly what is happening. Something like this will do it:
logger:
default: info
logs:
pyaarlo: debug
And removing the custom modes will convert everything to a disarmed request. The modes themselves aren’t case sensitive, everything is converted to lower case internally.
@ffm777 That should work with the latest release. There is an example automation in the docs that will trigger a snapshot 3 seconds after the camera starts recording. You’ll need another automation to track the camera moving from a ‘taking snapshot’ to ‘recording’ state change at which point the camera image has been updated and you can copy that to a file.
thank you for replying indeed i did activate the debug log but when i call the custom mode nothing is written in the log not even the call itself. I can see all the other calls to the base station in the log when i call a normal disarmed function.
This is my log for a disarmed mode call (mode1)

But it fails to send anything for the custom mode
@vjmindlab We need to go back to the beginning. If you get the logs since start - or restart if necessary - you should find something like the following trace. This will show the modes configured on the base station. Make sure these names line up with the one you are using in the configuration file - for me home_mode_name is home.

I will try to redo my Arlo setup in the Arlo app see if it fix it thank you for your help
That’ll do it! I have a home mode that stops a couple of cameras reporting motion and recording videos.
I’ll add some debug in the set code because right now if there is no mode matching the one you ask for the silence is deafening.

Thanks a lot that fixed it i guess something got messed up in my Arlo base station
