Warning: I consider this an experimental but necessary release.

Arlo recently changed their back end and reduced the lifetime of the
authentication token from 2 weeks to 2 hours. This code relied on that 2 weeks
to reduce the number of 2fa requests we made. The code now acts more like the
official website by using the "trusted browser" setting. With this we can
request more authentication tokens for up to 2 weeks without using 2fa again.

If this breaks the module for you please drop back to version 0.8.0.14 and
create an issue.

There will be more work done on the authentication piece:

  • squash any bugs found by users
  • a proper tidy up and streamline of the authentication code, it has gotten really unwieldy
  • figure out a mechanism to reconnect before the authentication token expires, right now you can use reconnect_every=110 to help
