(Sorry, I've edited this half a dozen times now as I have spent way too much vacation time thinking about this...)

I've struggled for two years to get automated streaming working. I did try the browser_mod + conditional card + Aarlo glance combo, but it was completely unreliable. Once in a great while, the card would pop up. I debugged and debugged and never could figure out why. I've hacked around, trying a myriad of other ideas and just can't get a card start streaming when some sort of event occurs, such as motion or a doorbell press.

I've begun to wonder if there is some way for the Aarlo Glance card to present itself to HA as a media_player or similar where it can be the target of an action.
