The Blink integration works well with my Blink X2 cameras, but my Blink Mini cameras don’t show up at all. It’s possible I’m doing something wrong, but I suspect it is actually these new cameras which operate a bit differently from their traditional cameras (i.e. they don’t use the Blink hub).
I’m really interested to know if this truly is a current limitation of the integration.
Support for mini cameras is in progress. I’m hoping to get it included in the next release, but no promises. Trying to iron out some unrelated bugs first
+1 on this. Just added my first Blink Mini and keen to get it integrated. I see in the Github logs that progress has been made, any idea when this will make it to release?
There’s an outstanding unrelated issue with blink sending an email every 24hrs with a new 2FA pin that I’ve been trying to fix prior to release. I’m pretty close to being out of ideas there, though, so may release in the next week regardless.
Other than that, I already have the code in HA added and tested (mini cameras working and all), just haven’t submitted a PR yet since I have made the official library release yet
So it actually doesn’t seem to impact anything. What happens is the auth token expires every 24hrs triggering a new 2FA email to be generated by blink. But the email (and pin contained in the email) can be completely ignored… it’s just more annoying than anything. I will probably just end up releasing the library as-is and just add a note to the documentation that you can ignore the “verify login” emails from blink. Something may break in the future because of it but I’ve been testing for nearly a month with no issues so
I’m just glad to get 113 out and my cameras working again … it would be useful to know how to see when to expect the changes merged into dev and a potential release.
When the volunteers that review PRs and approve changes get around to it. Please be patient Experience says if not by the next beta release, it will be in the one after (so likely by 0.115)
Thank you so much for the update for the Mini!
Somehow I am having issues as the status of alarm_control_panel.blink_mini1 always shows “Armed Away” even if disarmed.
