Asynchronous Arlo Component for Home Assistant.

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

Please visit the Readme for more details.

2FA Support

This release contains beta 2FA support. It works by requesting an email with the one-time code and then making an IMAP connection to your email provider and reading the code from the email Arlo sends.

There is a lot that can go wrong with this - for starters, I've only tested it in English - but to get it working add the following configuration (with the correct values obviously) - to aarlo:

  tfa_host: 'imap.gmail.com'
  tfa_username: '[email protected]'
  tfa_password: 'roygbiv'

For gmail users, the following help is useful.

Finally, if you haven't enabled 2FA you don't need to do this.

Notice of Future Breaking Changes

The custom services are moving into the aarlo domain.

This release moves all the component services in the aarlo domain. This is their correct location and allows Home Assistant to use the component's services.yaml file to provide help with the services.

To allow you to transition and test your scripts the old, incorrectly located, services will remain for a while. My plan is to remove them in a few months. If you move all your code over to the new services you can add the hide_deprecated_services option to your configuration to hide these old services.

See Services for more information.

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.
