Need some Arlo help

Post by flunker »

Hi,

I have a couple of Arlo cameras that I want to integrate with Domoticz.

I have found the following 2 gits:
https://github.com/tchellomello/python-arlo
https://github.com/tcellerier/domoticz-plugins (hidden under jcdecaux-bikes)

Has anyone tried the one from tcelllerier and got it working? I've tried but get this error that I can't figure out:

2019-06-09 22:05:08.086 Error: (ArloCam) 'onStart' failed 'TypeError':'Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly'.
2019-06-09 22:05:08.086 Error: (ArloCam) ----> Line 99 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/arlo/plugin.py', function onStart
2019-06-09 22:05:08.087 Error: (ArloCam) ----> Line 50 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/arlo/plugin.py', function onStart

Awesome if someone could help out with that.
Another thought; since all I want to achieve is to manage the Arlo's armed/disarmed modes - would it be easier to write one 'Arm Arlo' and one 'Disarm Arlo' script that I can trigger from within Domoticz, using tchellomello's pyarlo git?

Any help much appreciated, new to Python...

Hi

I do not own an Arlo camera, so I did not test any of the scripts, you mentioned.
But I found that there exist an Arlo node for Node Red. If this node forfills your needs it is relative easy to control it from Domoticz with MQTT.
Beside that, this post might also give you some info:

It is not exactly what you need, but perhaps it helps you.

Thank you, will definitely check out the Node-Red path, didn't know there existed an Arlo node!
