EXPERIMENTAL

It's working well for me but if everything stop working please drop back to 0.1

If you don't see any change open developer tools on your web browser and reload.

Why...

This is a complete re-write of the module. When adding the new modal window I realized the underlying code
was doing things backwards. For example, for state changes I was giving Home Assistant a complete
re-rendering of the card when I would have been better manipulating the DOM directly.

Multiple Cameras

To try multiple cameras use the following config (changing the entities obviously). It's possible to have per-entity config too, this example shows shared global config:

entities:
  - entity: camera.aarlo_street_camera
    name: 'The Street'
  - entity: camera.aarlo_front_door_camera
    name: 'The Front'
show:
  - motion
  - captured_today
  - battery_level
  - snapshot
  - play
play_direct: true
top_status: true
top_title: true
image_click: 'recording,smart'
library_click: smart

On desktops devices you get chevrons to click and change camera, on mobile you can swipe left and right.

You can join the libraries together with library_view: blended and automatically move to the most recently
active camera with camera_view: active.

And I will be tidying up the config...

Changes include, but not limited to:

• multiple camera support [stage 1]
  • blended library mode; show multiple cameras in one library
  • automatically flip to active camer
• handle empty libraries better
• smart modal windows, will fall back to inline on mobile devices, see smart option of image_click.
• will now show if Arlo doorbells are silenced on the card and you can mute/unmute from the card, see door_bell_mute
• you can swipe left/right on mobile devices in the library - crude support for now
• the library will update in real time and won't load unless necessary, generally nicer operation
• you can limit how many videos are loaded
• you can specify different grid size for the library
• objects that trigger events are highlighted in the library view
• beginning and end buttons for the library
• autoplay
• customizable snapshot image reload
• changes handled programmatically; for example, a motion event now changes the element in the DOM rather
  than re-drawing the whole card
• localization support
• added French language
• better startup
• internally most things have changed, hopefully for the best

Planned changes include:

• tidy up the config
• better exception handling
• save videos
