An (almost) drop in replacement for the standard Arlo package.

Please visit the Readme for more details.

{% if prerelease %}

NB!: This is an Alpha version!

New Features in 0.8.1

Config Flow

Finally. Thanks to @NickM-27 for starting this. After sitting on it for far too long I decided to do the work I needed to, this integration now acts much like every intergration, splitting down by entity, device and integration.

New Features in 0.8

Split Out Pyaarlo

The code now uses pyaarlo by installing it via pip rather than maintaining its own version.

Authentication Caching

The code will retry authorization tokens for as long as they are valid. This means a reduction in authentication attempts and 2FA requests. If this does not work for you send me some logs and addsave_session: False to your configuration.

Breaking Changes in 0.8

The following options have been removed:

• hide_deprecated_services; all component services are now in the aarlo domain.
• http_connections; no longer used after cloudscraper was needed
• http_max_size; no longer used after cloudscraper was needed

Features

Aarlo provides:

• Access to cameras, base stations, sirens, doorbells and lights.
• Asynchronous, almost immediate, notification of motion and sound events.
• Ability to view library recordings, take snapshots and direct stream from cameras.
• Tracking of environmental stats from certain base station types.
• Special switches to trip alarms and take snapshots from cameras.
• Enhanced state notifications.
• Media player support for select devices.

There is also a resource aarlo-glance which is based on picture-glance but tailored for the Arlo component.
