I have been messing around trying to get this to work but all I get is an authentication error. I followed this tutorial
There seems to be an awful lot of people complaining on the various forums about the same issue and unfortunately none of them ever seem to come back and post that they got it to work which leaves me wondering whether or not this integration actually works.
According to the GitHub page: latest version 2 months back, 245 open issues…

Ok, so it still is active, why do so many like me have such problems getting the authentication to work. Can anyone recommend a good tutorial that actually walks through getting this integration working with Arlo?
Here are the error messages

Can anyone help me sort through and find a solution to this?
Latest release mention about login issues but it seems to be released under beta, not part of stable. You can give it s try with the beta version
I figured out my issues. Both were pilot errors both relating to my secrets file. The first was I had my passwords encased in single quotes instead of double quotes. The next was when I copied and pasted the app password from google I didn’t delete the spaces that google put into it. Ultimately stupid errors that cost me days to find.
