v0.8.1.6 High battery drain with VMC2050A

[Kolbi]

I expected with my VM2050A cameras high battery drain since version v0.8.1.6 - like 1% every 15 minutes.

Reverting to v0.8.1.5 didn't solved the issue for me. Curious because it was not an issue till I updated to v0.8.1.6....

My other cameras VMC2030A are not affected.

Any idea how to help in finding the issue?

I broke the back end, sorry. I'll take a look.

Is it possible that the issue is here: https://github.com/twrecked/pyaarlo/blob/master/pyaarlo/base.py#L21 that MODEL_ESSENTIAL_OUTDOOR_GEN2_HD is missing there?

[twrecked]

That's it! I missed that one.

Although I feel that should have failed the same way before... anyway, I'll add it in.

edit 2:The code now creates a base station for the cameras which it didn't before. And then the code was pinging that causing the drain. I'll push a fix this morning.

Thanks a lot.

And now I also see why rolling back to v0.8.1.5 didn't helped:

hass-aarlo/custom_components/aarlo/manifest.json

Line 16 in 0c8f5bf

"pyaarlo>=0.8.0.9"

= :) and bug was introduced in pyaarlo 0.8.0.10 :) and it always uses the latest version.

So more or less no new hass-aarlo release is needed just reinstall latest v0.8.1.6 and it should grap pyaarl 0.8.0.11 - but I have seen you were faster and preparing release hass-aarlo v0.8.1.7.

[twrecked]

A re-install would have worked.

But bumping the pyaarlo revision is pretty simple so I did that as well. And reading your comment I just realised I should tie it to a specific pyaarlo version, I'll do that going forward but this one is still >= .11.

Let me know if it works.

[Kolbi]

Yeah makes it easier for rolling back. But for updated backend you need to release a new hass-aarlo version but should be done anyway to inform about updates and so on.

Should be fixed with https://github.com/twrecked/hass-aarlo/releases/tag/v0.8.1.7

I will have a look into it and close the issue then I can confirm that it is working again.
