Homebridge-Arlo
Homebridge plugin for Arlo. Includes email MFA support. Please read the underlying library arlo-api's README for information about configuring MFA correctly.
Feel free to fork or make pull requests with additional features.
Caveats
- Library only supports Doorbell events.
- Extremely nascent implementation. There may be unrecoverable states which require restart.
- When a login occurs to Arlo they close any other open connection. This poses a problem as the underlying library must maintain a connection to listen for events.
Installation
This varies by homebridge installation and gui.
Development
