Thank you for a quick response. Is there an ETA for new release?

132

Same, the usual issue with lacking a base station I’m assuming?

133

Maybe there should be a default instance of the basestation for when one doesnt exist.

Also how does this work if there are multiple base stations attached to an account? How do you find the right one? I noticed that the camera just refers back to a single base station instance.

I am trying to remove arlo and this error is persisting.
Now the HA hangs because of this.

Need help in removing the arlo component to make my HA work properly, until its resolved in the new release.

I am sorry if this already have been discussed.
But I would really like a feature to activate the siren on my basestations from within HA.
Are there any documentation on the Arlo API?

136
137

Thank you - But that API is not for Netgear Arlo which this topic is about :slight_smile:

138

Don’t know what happend with the link, wrong link

What I have found there is no public API

this was the link I thought I posted

Hi Stimo,

Thank you for the link - I will try to dump some of my web-traffic and see how I can trigger the siren in my base-station.

Has there been any progress on getting the Arlo Q working again? I just picked one up today and set it up only to find an error in my log :frowning: (v58.1 HA)

Does anyone know if there is work being done for adding a “triggered” state to the Arlo alarm_control_panel when the cameras detect motion?

142

@mastamike911, the Arlo Q is not currently supported by the underlying library (PyArlo). This has been a request by several users, but I’m not sure if any of the devs who have worked on it have a Q. It’s a bit more difficult to implement without an actual device to test because we have to reverse engineering the API by tracing the web calls made to/from the devices. Almost all of the calls in the current library reference a base station, which the Q does not have.

143

@joch, not at this time. That would be a great feature, though! I know SmartThings implements this somehow. When I had my Arlo cameras connected to HASS via the SmartThings MQTT bridge, each camera was published to MQTT as a sensor with motion. The trick is capturing how that’s done.

144

@jwillaz Interesting. I’m pretty sure that you can see when a camera is triggered in the Arlo UI, so there’s possibly a way. Hopefully, I’ll have some time this weekend to look into it some more.

145

@joch, looks like this library implements a SubscribeToMotionEvents function - good place to start: https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo/blob/master/Arlo.py

I’m thinking of getting the Arlo Pro security cameras. Can anyone give me a quick answers if it integrates with Home Assistant? If not, I’d like to know if Nest is compatible.

Yes, they do.

Arlo integration is now available in HA, so closing this thread. Please open a new thread for specific queries or report bugs in the main repo.
