Arlo platform plugin for Homebridge.

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-arlo
3. Update your configuration file. See the sample below.

• npm update -g homebridge-arlo

Arlo only allows a single login to each account at a time, as a result, if you are running Homebridge and the Arlo on the same account... logging in on your iPhone to view cameras will log out homebridge's Arlo access.

Therefore, I highly recommend creating an additional account in Arlo, just for homebridge access.

This plugin currently only support Base Stations, not cameras. This is mainly because I haven't gotten video streaming to work yet.

"platforms": [
   {
       "platform": "Arlo",
       "name": "Arlo",
       "email": "<insert arlo account email address>",
       "password": "<insert arlo account password>"
       "interval": 6000 
   }
]

NOTE: interval time is in milliseconds - e.g. 6000 ms are 10 sec

By default, Arlo only provides two modes (armed and disarmed). Since HomeKit allows a security system to have 4 states (away, home, night and off), we provide two config parameters to enable support for the additional 2 states. If these configuration parameters aren't provided setting the state to home or night will result in the state being set to away, i.e. armed.

Arlo uses the string modeX to identify each mode, with mode0 used for the default disarmed state and mode1 used for the default armed state. To determine the correct modeX string for your custom state, login to the Arlo web console and click the "Edit Mode" button. The URL will show the modeX string for that custom state, e.g. https://arlo.netgear.com/#/modes/<USER_ID>/edit/mode2

Once you've determined the modeX string of your custom mode(s), you can configure homebridge-arlo to use those for the additional modes available via HomeKit:

• stay_arm - The modeX label for the custom mode created in Arlo for the home or stay state.
• night_arm - The modeX label for the custom mode created in Arlo for the night state.
