Example code for Motion-Events about node-arlo HOT 11 CLOSED

Tried it this way:

var device = self.config.arlo.devices[n.device]

  device.subscribe(function(error, response) {
    if (error) {
     console.log(error)
   }
   response.on('statusUpdate', function(msg) {
     console.log(msg)
   })
  }

@HendrikRoth any luck?

No :(

I am able to enable/disable the cameras, but still have no idea how to listen to motion events.

I found a way to figure out when motion is detected. In the found event (callback), there's something like device._____lastImage or device.device.______lastImage (per camera). Request that S3 image URL and save the last-modified header from the response. Every N seconds, request it again and if the last-modified has changed, that camera has detected motion.

Sorry, I haven't had the bandwidth to look at this issue until now.

I've just pushed version 0.0.4 which adds support for motion events.

var device = self.config.arlo.devices[n.device];

device.on('motionDetected', function(state) {
  //state is true for motion detected, false for no motion
});

Thank you, will look at it at the weekend!
For listening on state changes (arm/disarm), we have to listen on the basestation, or? i did not see any committed event for this.

from node-arlo.

You should be able to listen for those events like this...

basestation.on(Arlo.ARMED, function() {
  //todo
});

basestation.on(Arlo.DISARMED, function() {
  //todo
});

from node-arlo.

I should also note that Arlo.DISARMED and Arlo.ARMED listen for mode0 and mode1 respectively. The default modes that are created when you register your Arlo basestation.

If you create additional custom modes, they take the names mode2, mode3, etc. You can subscribe to these custom modes using...

basestation.on('mode2', function() {
  //todo
});

perfect, thank you for the hint. i have now the listening and the triggering part finished for arlo states. just need to look for the motion events at the weekend. thanks!

Sorry for jumping on this thread but having trouble getting events from working in my script. Here's the code;

arlo.login(ARLO_USERNAME, ARLO_PASSWORD, function () {
    arlo.getDevices(function () {
        for (let device in arlo.devices) {

            if (arlo.devices[device].device.deviceType == "basestation") {
                var basestation = arlo.devices[device];
                basestation.on(Arlo.ARMED, function () {
                    console.log("armed");
                });
        
                basestation.on(Arlo.DISARMED, function () {
                    console.log("disarmed");
                });
            }

            if (arlo.devices[device].device.deviceType == "camera") {
                var camera = arlo.devices[device];
                camera.on('motionDetected', function (state) {
                    //state is true for motion detected, false for no motion
                    console.log("motion");
                });
            }
        }
    })
})

It's logging in, finding the devices (I've tested outputting the ID's) but none of the events are triggering.

For reference, node -v is showing v8.11.1.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
