Toggle Camera Not working about arlo HOT 12 CLOSED

Jeff - Thank you for pointing me in the right side. After some debugging i was able to find out that some of the camera's that i added and removed from the account still exists in the account. That was the reason i was getting Resource Not Found error. Now it all makes sense not sure why the removed devices still show up in the camera list. Any ways thank you for your help, i will be setting up rest of the things this week that best suit my needs. Will contact you if i run in to any trouble. The only flip side is i am new to Python but have been a developer in C# and other languages for a long time. Thanks again for your time and assistance.

Hi @skrisk, thank you for filing the issue.

Try this code:

from Arlo import Arlo

USERNAME = '[email protected]'
PASSWORD = 'supersecretpassword'

try:
	# Instantiating the Arlo object automatically calls Login(), which returns an oAuth token that gets cached.
	# Subsequent successful calls to login will update the oAuth token.
	arlo = Arlo(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
	# At this point you're logged into Arlo.

	# Get the list of devices and filter on device type to only get the cameras.
	# This will return an array of cameras, including all of the cameras' associated metadata.
	cameras = arlo.GetDevices('camera')

	# Turn camera on.
	print(arlo.ToggleCamera(cameras[0], True)))
	# Turn camera off.
	print(arlo.ToggleCamera(cameras[0], False)))

except Exception as e:
    print(e)

from arlo.

I tried that to begin with then only ended up passing the basestation as i was able to do a little reading in to the Arlo class. This is the error i got when i try the example code.

must be str, not bool

Okay, great! Looks like I neglected to fix the example code when I update the API. I also made a small tweak to the ToggleCamera function.

Pull the latest code git pull and try this:

from Arlo import Arlo

USERNAME = '[email protected]'
PASSWORD = 'supersecretpassword'

try:
	# Instantiating the Arlo object automatically calls Login(), which returns an oAuth token that gets cached.
	# Subsequent successful calls to login will update the oAuth token.
	arlo = Arlo(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
	# At this point you're logged into Arlo.

        # Get the list of devices and filter on device type to only get the basestations.
	# This will return an array of basestations, including all of the basestations' associated metadata.
        basestations = arlo.GetDevices('basestation')
	
        # Get the list of devices and filter on device type to only get the cameras.
	# This will return an array of cameras, including all of the cameras' associated metadata.
	cameras = arlo.GetDevices('camera')

	# Turn camera on.
	print(arlo.ToggleCamera(basestations[0], cameras[0], True)))
	# Turn camera off.
	print(arlo.ToggleCamera(basestations[0], cameras[0], False)))

except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Thank you Jeff, after applying the change i still get the same error "Resource Not Found".

from arlo.

Did you try with the code I posted for you in my last comment? It works fine for me.

from arlo.

Yes i did try with the code you posted. I also did a git pull to the latest changes. Not sure why i am getting 'Resource Not Found'.
this is the call i make: print(arlo.ToggleCamera(basestation[0],cameras[0],False))
Error: {'resource': 'cameras/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX', 'action': 'set', 'error': {'code': 4000, 'message': 'Resource not found.'}, 'properties': {'privacyActive': False}, 'transId': 'web!XXXXXXXXXX.XXX!XXXXXXXXXXXXXX', 'to': 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX_web', 'from': 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX'}

This above is my code. It was able to establish a connection, query the stream then getting an error resource not found. Thanks.

from arlo.

Please print the basestation and cameras arrays and send me the output.

Happy to help! Glad to hear you figured it out.
