I am trying to use a simple piston to capture video off a ARLO wireless camera when a door sensor opens. Currently using the capture() action with no parameters and have also tried recordClip(). The piston fires but nothing happens in either situation. Do I need to pass parameters and if so how do I find out what they are?.
(I know I can capture due to motion but specifically wanted to catch a snapshot (ideally) when door is opened.
If I get motion on my Ring doorbell, Iām kicking off a 30-sec video clip from my front-porch location Arlo camera via the ārecordClipā option. Parameter Type of ādecimalā and Parameter Value of ā30ā.
For some reason the ārecordClipā option had disappeared for me in CoRE. I can no longer force my Arlos to record from other sources/situations. Anyone else seeing this ?
I think so. Iām still learning. I just picked the command when I linked up Arlo to ST and then accessed what was exposed in CoRE like all my other devices.
I can see the recordclip option and the capture options on my Arlo wireless but I still can not get them to actually record or capture with CoRE. I tried 6 months ago when I got them and just today after reading this thread and still nothing. Iām sure I must be doing something wrong.
The only way I have found to trigger a recording from a webCoRE piston is using IFTTT webhooks.
example piston shown is very basic just to see if it would work and it does and creates a recording in the Arlo Library.
@twack@Tyler - why doesnāt Arlo work with CoRE/WebCoRE? Can we get this fixed? Also would be great if we could take a photo/snapshot with the Arlo too instead of only video recordings (maybe Arlo API doesnāt support this yet as itās not in IFTTT either).
I believe CoRE/WebCoRE filters for devices with the capability āVideo
Captureā. If this is true, Arlo cameras will not be able to be picked
because they do not currently support that capability. We are working with
Netgear/Arlo to implement this feature in the future. No time table at this
time though.
for those on this thread - I decided just now to test, I tried recordclip, no matter what type of parameter or the value, it seems to record a 30 second clip, so thatās progress. capture didnāt do anything as far as I can tell, as I may have mentioned on another thread, one of the things thats interesting that no matter how recording is triggered (arlo/ifftt etc, the camera āmotionā changes to active)
