Hints for HACS installation

These notes are provided to help with a HACS install if you use the GUI rather than edit yaml.

  1. Install "HACS" as per their documentation hacs_badge
  2. Let the HACS addon download its data - this takes at least an hour to fetch data initial due to rate limiting - see HACS documentation
  3. Choose HACS from the Sidebar
  4. For installation of this card select the HACS Frontend option
  5. Click + and search for "Lovelace Hass Arlo"
  6. Choose Install this repository in HACS
  7. Choose Install. This completes the installation of the repository.
  8. Now enable/install the module in Home Assistant by choosing the Configuration panel
  9. Choose Lovelace Dashboards from the configuration panel
  10. Click into the Resource tab
  11. Click + button to add a new resource and enter:
Url
/hacsfiles/lovelace-hass-aarlo/hass-aarlo.js 

Resource Type:
JavaScript Module
  1. Now you should edit your dashboard as usual to add the new card. One for each camea. When adding the aarlo-glance card you will need to choose the Manual option (bottom of the GUI list of available cards). Editing manually to insert some configuration code to match your camera.

Here is a working config for a camera known to Arlo as kitchen and to Home Assistant as camera.aarlo_kitchen

type: 'custom:aarlo-glance'
entity: camera.aarlo_kitchen
name: A camera in my Kitchen
show:
  - motion
  - sound
  - snapshot
  - battery_level
  - signal_strength
  - captured_today
  - image_date
top_title: false
top_status: false
top_date: false
image_click: play

The options of top_title, top_status and top_date can be set to true if you prefer the indicated information at the top of the card.
