Aarlo Camera returning incorrect battery settings

[14Data]

The Battery Levels appear not to be being updated anymore (they were initially) and are now returning the incorrect values. There don't appear to be any errors relating to this.

E.g Aarlo battery_level entity show 50%, but if I go to the Arlo app the camera is only at 20%

Similar comparison HA aarlo 69% Arlo 62% HA aarlo 81% Arlo 50%

It appears that this is not updating.

Config aarlo: username: !secret aarlo_username password: !secret aarlo_password refresh_devices_every: .5 refresh_modes_every: 2 stream_timeout: 120 reconnect_every: 90 verbose_debug: true

camera:

• platform: aarlo sensor:
• platform: aarlo monitored_conditions:
  • total_cameras
  • last_capture
  • recent_activity
  • captured_today
  • battery_level
  • signal_strength
  • temperature

My Arlo app:

I have turned Arlo base station and cameras off and on. Updated everything and restarted HA.

Has anything changed or any idea why the battery levels appear not to be updating?

Thanks, Tony

Can you try changing the backend. Arlo has been playing around with things recently.

@twrecked That worked 👍 Thanks for the prompt help.

@twrecked worked for me as well. Thanks!

changing the backend worked for me as well. Further confirmation that this is a way to fix the interface.
