version 0.8.1.alpha.1

Welcome to 0.8.1 Alpha Releases

DANGER: This is a very alpha release and intended for experienced Home Assistant users.
DANGER: This is a very alpha release, please try on a test system first if possible.

These releases add proper Intergration and config flow support to the Aarlo component.

Many thanks to @NickM-27 for starting this, I can only apologise for the amount of time it's taken me to fix up the other pieces of code.

What Should Happen

The code will upgrade a 0.7 installation to use the standard Home Assistant integration configuration mechanism. What this means is:

• key pieces of the Arlo configuration will be moved into the Home Assistant repositories
• all the extra config that comes along with Arlo will be moved into a file called /config/aarlo.yaml
• entities will now be tied to their owning devices, i.e, a camera motion detection entity will be associated the camera device providing it
• integrations can be reloaded, reconfigured, deleted and added on the fly

If It Goes Wrong

Then revert back to an older install. And for this reason I recommend keeping your old config around, Home Assistant will complain about it but it won't affect anything.

But if you can raise a bug telling me what you were doing, what you expected to happen and what happened that would be great.

What Am I Not Sure About

location and media_player devices should work but I have not real mechanism for testing them.

Naming should work. 0.7 upgrades will include the aarlo_ prefix and 0.8 upgrades won't.

DANGER: These are very alpha and intended for experienced Home Assistant users.
