[solved] Clear Arlo cache

Hello!

After initially setting up my Arlo cameras, I ended up renaming them. However, these new names have never made it into HA.

Is there a cache somewhere that I can clear?

After formatting my RP3 and still seeing this issue, I was confident that there was no cache involved.

Turns out that the issue was related to the 2nd Arlo user that I had created for HomeAssistant. When you share a device with a user, they get the name of the camera at that time, but if you later change the name on your primary account, the 2nd user’s camera’s name won’t automatically update.

To fix this, I just logged in to the website with the 2nd Arlo user, renamed the cameras there, and all was well again.
