homebridge-plugins / homebridge-arlo Goto Github PK

After installing and updating, editing the config.json, I search for new accessories in the home app.
The base doesn't show up, but all three cameras. I can only add one of them though. And when I do it shows up in the app as a movement sensor, which by the way doesn't react to any movement (yes, I've been dancing in front of all three).

What am I doing wrong?

Received an email saying that 2FA would be a requirement by the end of the year. Is there any plan (I know it hasn’t been updated in a while) to update this to include this else this plugin will no longer work beyond that date. I have the original base station and use it as a reliable way to activate and deactivate the system through Apple Home.

I know I could look at adding it, but have 0 coding experience and totally dependent on other more skilled people than myself for this functionality.

Thanks

Not able to stream

Describe The Bug: Snapshots come in but when you try to view the video it goes to not responding after a few minutes of loading.

To Reproduce: Try to Stream.

Expected behavior: Video Should Stream.

Homebridge Config:

{
            "name": "Arlo",
            "email": "**************",
            "password": "**************",
            "include_cameras": true,
            "streaming": {
                "videoProcessor": "ffmpeg",
                "videoDecoder": "libx264",
                "videoEncoder": "libx264",
                "audioEncoder": "libopus",
                "packetSize": "1316",
                "maxBitrate": "300"
            },
            "platform": "Arlo"
        }

Environment:

• Node.js Version: 14.7.0
• NPM Version: 6.14.7
• Homebridge Version: 1.2.0-beta.34
• Homebridge Arlo Version: 2.1.0
• Homebridge Config UI X Plugin Version: 4.25.1-test.5
• Operating System: macOS

I've configured modes correctly, mapping home_arm to mode2 and night_arm to mode3, and the homebridge user is correct. From what I see, the request to set the mode succeeds, I get a notification telling me it was changed, and then quickly the mode gets modified to the default mode.

The request made looks like:
Arlo:REST {"url":"https://arlo.netgear.com/hmsweb/users/devices/notify/<redacted>","method":"POST","body":{"action":"set","resource":"modes","publishResponse":true,"properties":{"active":"mode3"},"from":"<redacted>","to":"<redacted>"},"json":true,"jar":true,"headers":{"xCloudId":"<redacted>","User-Agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS <redacted> like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/<redacted>(KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/<redacted> NETGEAR/v1 (iOS Vuezone)","Authorization":"<redacted>"}}

You can see mode3 was selected, which is correct as I mapped it.

The response is simple:

Arlo:REST {"success":true}

After that, I observe the following log repeats a bit for a number of devices.

EventedHTTPServer [] Sending HTTP event '4.11' with data: {"characteristics":[{"aid":4,"iid":11,"value":2}]}

I then see the following:

EventedHTTPServer [::ffff:10.0.0.3] Sending HTTP event '4.10' with data: {"characteristics":[{"aid":4,"iid":10,"value":1}]}

^^ that value:1 seems suspicious.

My config is super-simple:

{
                "platform": "Arlo",
                "name": "Arlo",
                "email": "<redacted>",
                "password": "<redacted>",
                "stay_arm": "mode2",
                "night_arm": "mode3",
                "interval": "6000"
        }

I have the latest version of everything. I've changed all the calls to debugComm locally to call JSON.stringify in order to properly print the entire body, otherwise arrays get printed as [Array].

I have two Arlo Q's that I can help test with if needed. All I can access right now is my basestation, which doesn't really help much.

First of all thank you for your hard work, I really appreciate that!

I was wondering if it was possible to add an automatic state check from server. I mean, let's suppose a member of your family turns on the cameras from the official app for Android: the system is obviously armed but on HomeKit it is not as the alarm was armed in a different way!

Is there a way to implement an automatic state check from the server? (every five minutes or something)

I hope my words will help to make this plugin even better!

Describe The Bug:
Updated to 2.1.0 and now Homebridge (1.1.0 or 1.1.1) won't start. Using Arlo Pro cameras. Homebridge never successfully starts, keeps trying. Removing the homebridge-arlo plugin/config allows Homebridge to start. No issues previous to upgrade.

To Reproduce:
Using Homebridge 1.1.0 or 1.1.1, set up homebridge-arlo 2.1.0

Expected behavior:
Expected behavior is successful Homebridge startup while using the plugin.

Logs:
config.json contains this:
{
"platform": "Arlo",
"name": "Arlo",
"email": "myaccountusedfortheplugin",
"password": "mypassword",

Describe The Bug:
This seems to be the same/similar bug as described here: #57 (comment)
I tried to add the property "videoProcessor": "ffmpeg" to the config.json, but that didn't help either. I don't use the cameras for streaming through Homebridge, only use it for setting armed/disarmed state of Arlo.

To Reproduce:
I upgraded the homebridge-Arlo plugin from 0.0.3 to 2.0.1. Restarted homebridge, it crashed out and will not stay running.

Expected behavior:
I expected it to load the new plugin without crashing.

Hi, I would understand if is it possible avoid discovery of camers: after homebridge startup I receive the following message:

[Arlo] Found: Camera - xxxxx [xxxxxxxx]

but I need only commands for base station (already available). Moreover I don't want to see all cameras available in Homekit when I add new device.
Is there a flag to avoid this?

Thanks

The 4-states vs 2-states thing is a bit weird, but most unhelpfully, HomeKit does not allow presence events to automatically trigger state changes in security systems.

I wanted to set up HomeKit automations such that if I go out during the day, the Arlo will be armed, but because it's a security system, HomeKit requires me to confirm the state change manually on my phone, which makes the automation pretty useless. It can be worked around with an additional HomeKit device that triggers the Arlo, but I can't help but wonder if it might just be easier/better to have homebridge-arlo register the base station as a simple switch.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, a change in the Arlo API or user error, but I can't seem to get either of the stay_arm or night_arm modes to trigger via HomeKit.

I can see via the debug logs that homebridge-arlo is sending the right mode name (Night) and it seems to get a success: true response::

Interestingly, Home reports that "Arlo was armed for night" or "Arlo was armed for stay", but it actually just switches to "Armed" in both cases when I check in the Arlo app, not the custom "Home" or "Night" modes I've configured.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Arlo Baby has native HomeKit support for the camera, lights, and sensors. However the lullaby/music playback is not part of it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Expose arlo baby lullaby playback state with a switch, so users can toggle play/pause from Home and Siri.

Describe alternatives you've considered
n/a

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Need a state to set the arlo to Scheduled Mode in arlo interface modes

Describe the solution you'd like
Change Homebridge Night mode to use the Scheduled mode

Describe alternatives you've considered
Away and off can be used for arm and disarm

Additional context
And Away can be used for custom modeX modes that was created in Arlo Modes

I'm currently overseas and noticed that Siri won't control Arlo remotely (out of the house). If I try the documented phrases, here's how she responds: "Sorry, I can't control your Home Security System."

Also, I can't get her to even think about switching to night mode because she always hears "tonight" instead of "to night" which confuses the poor thing.

If someone can confirm whether the commands work inside the house, I'm happy to update the README.md to document the restriction about using Siri at home vs away from home.

Ping @cbpowell and @devbobo

The ffmpeg command generated by ArloCameraSource.js assumes there is both a video and audio stream delivered by Arlo. However, the original Arlo cameras do not have a microphone therefore there is no audio stream.

If I change the video stream to -map 0:0 and comment out the entire audio stream processing block then the live stream works* just fine:

• assuming you have a new enough version of ffmpeg. I run Homebridge on an Oracle Linux 7 box and I installed ffmpeg-2.8.15-1.el7.nux.x86_64.rpm from Nux Desktop but 2.8.15 is too old to handle the stream from Arlo as you require ffmpeg 3.4 or higher for the stream source.

When I upgraded to ffmpeg-3.4.2-1.el7_5.awel.0.x86_64.rpm from AWEL Media Packages it progressed from the Operation Not Permitted error I was getting initially. Once the stream actually started, then it barfed on the video/audio mismatch issue.

So, some logic is needed to determine whether the camera has a microphone or not and build the ffmpeg command accordingly.

BTW, I grabbed https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo and tested with https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo/blob/master/examples/arlo-streamingvideo.py and my original Arlo generates the following video:

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'test.mp4':

Hope that helps! I'm not a node developer, but if I get a chance over the break I might try and fix this myself and submit a PR. But no guarantees I'll have the time, as I'm a (very) newly married man.

Would it be possible to use Arm/Disarm function of the plugin with the Arlo Baby and have the other HomeKit things work via the HomeKit support?

I installed the plugin, but the log shows:

[10/23/2019, 9:10:08 AM] [Baby] Initializing Arlo platform...
[10/23/2019, 9:10:08 AM] Loading 0 accessories...

After installing and configuring this plugin, my Arlo Baby camera is detected but nothing shows up in the Home app.

In the log, the camera is detected...

[2019-2-10 22:05:37] [Arlo] Found: Camera - Bedroom CCTV [50E177S4472E2]

I went through some of the code and it seems that this.api.publishCameraAccessories("homebridge-arlo", [accessory]); has been called correctly and on homebridge's library, the right accessory object was received.

Good morning, this is serious.

It seems the plugin does not activate the cameras anymore. I tried changing the password and re-installing the plugin.

Can anybody confirm?
Thanks

As suggested https://github.com/jeffreydwalter/arlo/issues/7 the streamin problem seems to be fixed. Is this something you could add to your homebridge plugin?

Are you wanting npm access so you can control homebridge-Arlo on there? Or are you okay with how we have it right now? Also if you are wanting to get npm transferred over to, you should join the discord server to make the transition easier.

Looks like Arlo-Q support without a base station isn't implemented?

Hey all,

i do have an issue with the Arlo plugin and might some one else also have this issue or probably a solution :)

Yesterday i installed the following plugin - https://github.com/cbpowell/homebridge-arlo.git and completed all the described actions below to configure streaming with Raspberry PI3.

My setup is:
- Apple TV 4k (5th gen) as Apple Home Hub
- Raspberry PI3 with Debian Stretch Lite and Homebridge (0.4.45)
- iPad Pro / Mini and iPhone
- a separate Arlo account only for the Homebridge Plugin
- Three Arlo Pro Cameras with Basestation and one Arlo Pro 2 which seems to be unsupported by this plugin right now)

I’m able to open and view the live stream, but only when i’m connected to my WiFi (same network were are ATV, iPad, PI connected too)

If i’m outside of my WiFi and connected via 3G / 4G i always get the message „camera is not responding“.

I tried to use the iPad Mini as Apple Home Hub (connected to power and screen always on) - but this also won’t help.

The log of Homebridge doesn’t tell me anything helpful. :(

Any Ideas?
Daniel

Describe Your Problem:
I am trying to get audio transcoding/streaming working. It would appear that 2.1.0 build of this plugin also install the ffmpeg-for-homebridge plugin depedency (https://github.com/homebridge/ffmpeg-for-homebridge), which I guess has some preconfigured settings for Homebridge installs. So based on the information on that page, I'm guessing it installed ffmpeg with libfdk-aac audio transcoder? I don't really know enough about ffmpeg to verify this. That said, the Arlo plugin documentation refers to both "libfdk_aac" and "libfdk-aac" so I've tried both my config.json, but neither seem to work.

When I launch the live feed of the camera, the video stream connects and properly updates, and the audio channel takes over on the iOS device (e.g. if some music is playing, it's properly faded out, in anticipation of audio feed from Home app), but it just plays silence/dead air.

EDITED: Also, I noticed in the homebridge-arlo documentation this bit: "Defaults to the libopus codec, and currently Homebridge-Arlo tells HomeKit it only supports the Opus audio type." If that information is still accurate--that the plugin tells HomeKit it only supports Opus audio type--then does that mean that making any change to to the audioEncoder would have no effect anyway?

Logs:
No pertinent logs that I can think of. There are no errors that I've found.

I really appreciate your work getting the arlo camera's working. I know you're probably not done with the feature by any stretch, but I'm here to help if you need it.

Right now, the snapshots seem to be almost fully stable, it doesn't always get an update though, and clicking on a camera from Apple Home tries to get a fresh snapshot, but that seems to fail, and the video doesn't seem to work either, it says 'prepareStream' and then 'handleStreamRequest', and in Home it says 'No Response. Again, sorry if I'm jumping the gun on this, but I'm excited for this development.

Describe The Bug:
I don't get any motion within the Home app. The sensors are there, but no change of state if I walk in front of my Arlo camera. Any clue why?

To Reproduce:
Install the plugin and add the camera within the Home app. There are motion detectors added, but these give no motion detection.

Expected behavior:
The motion detector should give 'motion detected' ones Arlo is turned on and someone walks in front of the camera. The motion detectors/settings are corrected, because I receive a message from the Arlo app.

hi there, so I've followed the instructions for the basic install to try and get my Arlo ultra hub onto the Homekit app however it doesn't show up at all. I'm not sure if this is because the ultra is now natively compatible or because I have 2 factor auth. but anyways id still like to use the plugin to be able to arm and disarm the Arlo cameras from the home app as this can't be done even with the current Arlo support.

Hi,
Arm and disarm is working fine in my setup.
I use scenes to change the state.

Next I want to act on an movement within camera ranges if armed.

Is there a way to use a trigger in Homekit?
If not, any hints, eg IFTTT or any other homebridge plugins?

Frank

Any possibility of adding the ability to add the Arlo video doorbell?

Hi,

I have installed the normal devbobo/homebridge-arlo branch release.
I added the cameras nto homekit, I have 2 available.
After starting the homebridge service, the snapshot are working some times fpr 2, the other time only for one hour.
AFter that is is stopping.

In the homebridge log, there is no error.
You can see the following line:
[arlo] snapshot request: Camera XXX

But no snapshot is created.
In the log there will be no other entries ...
No skipping, no downloading ...

Is this known? Do I have to use another branch?
An actual snapshot will be enough for me, I need no live video.

However, I still don't get any motion within the Home app. The sensors are there, but no change of state if I walk in front of my Arlo camera. Any clue why?

Describe The Bug:
I've successfully added my four Arlo cameras (1st gen with the bridge) to Homebridge, and get stills from the last time they detected motion, but no video. I have FFMPEG plugin installed. Log info below:

No video streaming happens when camera is clicked/tapped on in Home app.

Expected behavior:
Video streaming on individual camera when clicked/tapped on in Home app.

@devbobo would you be willing to transfer ownership of this repo? to continue development?

Does the homebridge account keep logged in, if i set Arlo to away in the Arlo app the status for some time keeps being reflected back to homebridge, after a while this stops until the next restart of homebridge.

When I startup homebridge on my server, it throws an error that looks like this:

Hi,
Is it possible to set/access the state "Schedule"?

//BR Tony

Hey,

since this week there is a native homekit support from ARLO available.
I had the chance to have a look to a friends of mine config.
Stupid thing is that there will be no security system with this 4 several settings present, only the cams and the motion sensor.
Live view, integrated pushes is fine working.

I know this is also availabble in the plugin, but this never worked for me.

When I have a look into ARLO it finds automatically the security system expanded from this plugin, but nothing more.
Having a look to homekit itself, I see the base, but cannot add it because I do not know the pin.

Had anybode else get it worked in a combination?

I have it working except I would like to know if it is possible to define the Away (armed) and Off (Disarmed)? The Armed isn't as crucial as disarmed due to living in a dodgy area I like to use the 4 modes to turn off zones as I use some areas less frequently and then have a master armed for Away.

Also if it is of any help to any one else, I couldn't edit modes on desktop safari on Mac and Firefox and IE on Windows. Chrome on Mac was the fix to be able to edit to achieve ModeX.

Sorry if this is the wrong spot to place this, new to GitHub.

Maybe someone can help. I created two additional modes and got the corresponding strings from the web interface as described in the readme - they are actually mode2 and mode3. I then added

"stay_arm": "mode2",
"night_arm": "mode3"

to my config.json. Now whenever I try to activate one of those two modes HomeKit activates it but then immediately jumps back to the deactivated status. The away status works absolutely fine. Any ideas?

Arlo just introduced 2 factor authentication.
Old authentication API still works for accounts with 2FA disabled, but enabling 2FA would be a great security improvement.

Thank you in advance.
Regards.

When I change the mode/state of my Arlo outside homebridge, for instance using the Arlo App, the change doesn't seems to be detected by Arlo Homebridge. However on changing the state in Homekit app, all notifications seems to be working.

I added yesterday the third cam to my system.
I have 2 Pro and one Pro 2.
The 2 Pro's I can find, but the third one is missing ...

How can I fix that?

I've installed homebridge-arlo and manually added an Arlo Baby into HomeKit. I'm not expecting the camera to work, but for some reason it's recognised by HomeKit as a sensor. As a result, I can't arm/disarm it. Is it simply a matter of homebridge-arlo not recognising the model, and adding support? Or is there something else that I'm missing?
