I have been looking around at controlling my Blink camera’s, but I just don’t get it.
How can add an interface card to switch the motion detection on/off (or arm/disarm) and, ideally, display the state in the same switch. Basically an an/off switch.
Only way I have found is 2 different items calling separate services, but there must be another way isn’t it?
Yes thank you, I have a niggle, if I operate the switch in the browser, it moves across but doesn’t latch, it moves back to the off position. After a delay Blink does arm but then I cannot turn it back off with the switch. The switch moves to on then straight back to off, with Blink staying armed.
Would appreciate any help.
The problem IMO is Blink’s reaction time.
Even when using the Blink app you cannot ask too much to camera’s within a short timespan.
I used ot have automations per camera with a 10/20 second delay between each camera to make sure it worked but I finally gave up.
Today I just arm/disarm the whole system at once and don’t try to manage individual camera’s anymore.
I know it’s not a solution to your issue, but at least you know that you are not doing anything wrong
