Is Arlo intergration working?

Third party integrations
1

Hi all;

Can anyone confirm for me if their arlo intergration is working or not? If it is can you post a
sample config for yaml file and lovelace dashboard. My stopped working awhile ago. I’ve updated
to newer build and update card but it does not seem to work. It seems like it’s not passing the
auth stage any longer. I would really appreciate any assistance that you can provide. I’ve wasted hours on this trying to get it to work again.

I’ve also been getting the JSONDecodeError on login for the last several days.

found a fix

The problem is cloudflare. Edit the file backend.py and remove the line
“Source”: “arloCamWeb”

then save and reboot… Arlo back up :slight_smile:

Many thanks for your help buuuut… removed the line in the backend.py but still same issue authentication failure :frowning:

I found this issue unable to connect to Arlo: authentication failed · Issue #778 · twrecked/hass-aarlo · GitHub and applied these… and now it works! Thanks :wink:

 # "Source": "arloCamWeb",

       # change this

   self._session = cloudscraper.create_scraper()
   # to this
   self._session = cloudscraper.create_scraper(ecdhCurve='secp384r1')

Is this solved?
