Can not find api_key for my Arlo account.

Crille3 — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 21:54:25 GMT

I wants to get messages from my Arlo camera to my Google home loudspeaker.

Camera and loudspeaker are on different networks.

I use Home Assistant and HACS to make is work.
My problem is that I can not find the api_key for my Arlo account.

Please advise

Take a look here for instructions about how to connect and use your Arlo devices with Google Home integration: https://kb.arlo.com/000055108/How-do-I-connect-my-Arlo-devices-to-Google-Home

Hi James,
Thank you for the reply.
My Arlo Camera is working ok with Google Home speaker if they are on the same network.

My wish is that the camera can communicate with the speaker on another network.
I was told that I needed api_key in my Home Assistant setup (.yaml) to make that work.
However, it might also work with Loginid and password keys instead of api_key.
