Camera Battery % not sync
Hi, I just uptade to last aarlo release and i still have problem with battery %, so in HA i do not see the battery status sync with real status. battery level that i see on Arlo app is different from what i see on HA. also if i put in charge camera, i can see it in arlo app, but not in HA.
Can you get some debug. Turn on these settings and let it run for a while. The trace should contain the battery update information.
aarlo:
... your existing config
verbose_debug: True
logger:
default: info
logs:
custom_components.aarlo: debug
custom_components.aarlo.alarm_control_panel: debug
custom_components.aarlo.binary_sensor: debug
custom_components.aarlo.camera: debug
custom_components.aarlo.light: debug
custom_components.aarlo.media_player: debug
custom_components.aarlo.sensor: debug
custom_components.aarlo.switch: debug
pyaarlo: debug
If you want to strip out the non Aarlo stuff you can run the following command on the Home Assistant logs.
egrep '(aarlo|^ |^\{)' home-assistant.log > aarlo.log
This Section of the docs explains how to hide the data so only I can see it. You'll need to copy and paste the output to a file and attach that to the comments.
I am seeing the same thing but it may not be a sync issue. I think the sensor readings are not being updated anymore. My Arlo Essential battery level and wifi signal strength readings are all from 2 days ago which is when I reset HA. Each day I check they still indicate the same value and it says updated 2 days ago. I am able to arm/disarm, turn on spotlight, and turn on sirens on the cameras correctly so it seems to only be the sensor type items. How often are these items read from the cameras? Not sure if it matter but I have an essential spotlight camera so it has no basestation.
For me it is the same. Also i notice battery drain for some camera. For above reason i disconnect the aarlo from HA in this moment, otherwhise i must recharge camera every 2 days

I think I might now what the issue is. I turned off pinging the device because it was draining the battery but I think the ping might be what triggers the battery status to update. Maybe I can add a service call or configurable delay to check these numbers.
But, if anybody wants to share an essential camera with for a day or two that would be great as well. I can check what the Arlo web page does with those cameras, maybe the implemented a new call for them.

I see the problem. They've replaced the notification system. The are no longer using Server Sent Event streams but MQTT over WebSockets.
The contents look similar but I'll need to write a new piece to connect and handle packets.
Good so we will wait / cross finger your modification :) thanks in advance

I'm just testing the first part of the MQTT change and so far it looks good. I'll let this run a while and maybe push a test fix out on Friday. A few things:
- this is an initial fix, I can actually move the ping and control mechanisms into the mqtt interface as well, for now I'm keeping the REST API calls
- the mqtt client seems more robust that the SSE client
- you can actually see the event packets in Chrome (or the browser of your choice). If you press
CTRL + SHIFT + Iand then navigate tomy.arlo.comyou'll see amqttentry in theNetworktab. This is all the signalling from Arlo. This should make debugging easier - I'm not sure how logouts will be handled, I'm leaving the system running to see what happens

Thanks! I think I also found the problem, your camera provides extra data during start up that I'm not reading, this data incudes the battery level.
I'll try this and push an update soon.

Can you try with 0.7.2b1.
For older cameras startup looks like:
- read device list
- get device resources
For newer cameras we don't do part 2, it drains the battery, and these resources includes the battery level. Turns out Arlo added the battery level to the device list for newer devices. So now the code reads that.
Now i can see the right battery %I'll test it to see if I found some error or battey drainMeanwhile, thanks a lot 😁Il 28 Nov 2021 15:35, Steve Herrell @.***> ha scritto: Can you try with 0.7.2b1.

Does this also effect other data such as wifi signal strength? Just wondering.

For wifi signal is hard to understand, however seams to be ok.Il 28 Nov 2021 15:42, jeprice77 @.***> ha scritto:

Yes, it affects a lot of things. Including, but not limited to:
- battery level and type
- power supply
- connection state
- wifi signal strength
Some of these will be updated over time - for example, battery level as it changes.
do you still need access to the camera?Il 28 Nov 2021 16:27, Steve Herrell @.***> ha scritto: Yes, it affects a lot of things.

Maybe just until the battery level drops once. There is a message from this camera I don't think I'm handling.
But after that no. And thank you for sharing.
ok, let me know when you do not need anymorethanks :)Il 28 Nov 2021 17:25, Steve Herrell @.***> ha scritto: Maybe just until the battery level drops once. There is a message from this camera I don't think I'm handling.

That battery isn't changing!!!
It's ok to stop my access. I just pushed an update that will update the battery from your camera during a device refresh. I think everything should be better now.
goood :) thanks for your support

Any update on this issue? I facing the same problem with my Arlo doorbell. Battery say 0% in HA but in Arlo app its 99%. Im running v 0.72b8.2
I am facing the same problem with my Arlo Pro4 + VMB4540 combo. In HA, Battery say 100% in the attributes of the camera, and is unknown as a sensor. But in Arlo app its 37%. Im running v 0.72b8.3
Camera state attributes: access_token: xxxxxxxxxxxxx model_name: VMC4041PB brand: Netgear Arlo battery_level: 100 battery_tech: None signal_strength: 3 unseen_videos: 0 recent_activity: false image_source: capture/10-03 11:29 charging: false charger_type: None wired: false wired_only: false
@goldbingo Does your HA Arlo account have admin access to the cameras? And can you post your config.
