The `arlo` implementation allows you to integrate your [Arlo](https://arlo.netgear.com/) devices in Home Assistant.
To enable device linked in your [Arlo](https://arlo.netgear.com/) account, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
arlo:
username: you@example.com
password: secret
```
Configuration variables:
- **username** (*Required*): The username for accessing your Arlo account.
- **password** (*Required*): The password for accessing your Arlo account.
It is recommended to create a dedicated user on Arlo website to be used within Home Assistant and then share your Arlo cameras.
Finish its configuration by visiting the [Arlo sensor page](/components/sensor.arlo/) or [Arlo camera page](/components/camera.arlo/) or [Arlo control panel page](/components/alarm_control_panel.arlo/).
The Arlo component also provides a service to enable/disable the motion detection sensor. The example below enables the motion detection every time the Home Assistant service starts.
```yaml
#automation.yaml
- alias: Enable Arlo upton HA start'
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
platform: homeassistant
event: start
action:
service: camera.enable_motion_detection
entity_id: camera.arlo_frontdoor
```
