To get your [Arlo](https://arlo.netgear.com/) sensors working within Home Assistant, please follow the instructions for the general [Arlo component](/components/arlo).

This platform does not support Arlo Q.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

Once you have enabled the [Arlo component](/components/arlo), add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: arlo
    monitored_conditions:
      - captured_today
      - last_capture
      - total_cameras
      - battery_level
      - signal_strength
```

Additionally, for Arlo Baby cameras that have additional sensors, you can add them to the `monitored_conditions` collection:

```yaml
# Additional sensors available for Arlo Baby cameras
sensor:
  - platform: arlo
    monitored_conditions:
      # ...
      - temperature
      - humidity
      - air_quality
```


Configuration variables:

- **monitored_conditions** array (*Optional*): Conditions to display in the frontend. The following conditions can be monitored.
  - **captured_today**: Return the number of videos captured on the current day.
  - **last_capture**: Return the timestamp from the last video captured by your Arlo camera.
  - **total_cameras**: Return the number of recognized and active cameras linked on your Arlo account.
  - **battery_level**: Return the battery level of your Arlo camera.
  - **signal_strength**: Return the wireless signal strength of your Arlo camera.
  - **temperature**: Return the ambient temperature detected by your Arlo Baby camera.
  - **humidity**: Return the ambient relative humidity detected by your Arlo Baby camera.
  - **air_quality**: Return the ambient air quality (a reading of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in parts per million) detected by your Arlo Baby camera.

If no **monitored_conditions** are specified, all of above will be enabled by default.
