They do not publish the API specifications publicly, and if it was up to them you would never be able to access your devices directly. This is because they rely on the revenue from cloud-based subscriptions to store and manage your equipment and it is not in their interests to open it up to you.\n\nFor those of us who want to backup our videos to our own NAS for backup, sync to a different cloud provider, or otherwise integrate the system into our existing home automation platforms, this library was written.\n\nWhile this is functional, it is still incomplete. Contributions of any kind at this time are welcome and encouraged!\n\n## Installation\n\nAdd this line to your application's Gemfile:\n\n```ruby\ngem 'arlo-ruby'\n```\n\nAnd then execute:\n\n    $ bundle\n\nOr install it yourself as:\n\n    $ gem install arlo-ruby\n\n## Usage\n\n### Initialize the client\n\n```ruby\nclient = Arlo::Client.new\n```\n\n### Login\n\n```ruby\nresponse = client.login(email: 'YOUR EMAIL', password: 'YOUR PASSWORD')\n```\n\n### Get Devices\n\nRetrieves all of the devices associated with your account.\n\n```ruby\ndevices = client.devices\n```\n\n```\n+---------------+----------------------+\n|                Login                 |\n+---------------+----------------------+\n| Variable      | Value                |\n+---------------+----------------------+\n| User ID       | NZ69AUK-336-51372586 |\n| Email         | kevin+dev@phunc.com  |\n| Valid Email   | true                 |\n| Token         | xxxxxxxxxxxxxx       |\n| Authenticated | 1566062204           |\n| Created       | 1565912809854        |\n+---------------+----------------------+\n\n+---------------+---------------+----------------------------------+-------------+---------------+-----------+---------------------+-------------+----------------------+\n|                                                                                Devices                                                                                |\n+---------------+---------------+----------------------------------+-------------+---------------+-----------+---------------------+-------------+----------------------+\n| ID            | Parent ID     | Unique ID                        | Type        | Model         | HW        | Name                | State       | Connectivity         |\n+---------------+---------------+----------------------------------+-------------+---------------+-----------+---------------------+-------------+----------------------+\n| 4R036C71A22F2 |               | Z92W-336-6644878_4R036C71A22F2   | basestation | VMB4000       | VMB4000r3 | Beatty Base Station | provisioned | ethernet / connected |\n| 4XH16C71A8A5C | 4R036C71A22F2 | Z92W-336-6644878_4XH16C71A8A5C   | camera      | VMC4030       | H8        | Office              | provisioned |                      |\n| 4XH16C7EAA32C | 4R036C71A22F2 | Z92W-336-6644878_4XH16C7EAA32C   | camera      | VMC4030       | H8        | Family Room         | provisioned |                      |\n| 4R036C71A22F2 | 4R036C71A22F2 | Z92W-336-6644878_4R036C71A22F2#1 | siren       | VMB4000-siren |           | Beatty Base Station | provisioned |                      |\n+---------------+---------------+----------------------------------+-------------+---------------+-----------+---------------------+-------------+----------------------+\n```\n\n### Setup a Basestation Object\n\nThis allows you to operate directly on a basestation.\n\n```ruby\nbasestation = Arlo::Basestation.new(devices.detect { |device| device.deviceType == 'basestation' }, client)\n```\n\n### Set Mode\n\n```ruby\nbasestation.system_mode(:disarm)\nbasestation.system_mode(:arm)\n```\n\nValid modes: `:disarm`, `:arm`\n\n### Get Video Library\n\nReturns an array of OpenStruct that contain details about the captured videos associated with your basestation.\n\n```ruby\nvideos = basestation.library(2.weeks.ago, Time.current)\n```\n\n### Download Video Library\n\nThis is useful in order to backup your captured videos to local storage, or perhaps a NAS on your network.\n\n```ruby\nbasestation.library_download('arlo_videos')\nDownloading 1566061318696 to arlo_videos/1566061318696.mp4...\n```\n\n## Development\n\nAfter checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.\n\nTo install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).\n\n## Contributing\n\nBug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/kevinelliott/arlo.
