Thank you! This was a perfect guide! Got my BI integrated with MQTT with my HASS instance 
Hi There,
I just came across this thread. Did you ever get our Blue Iris profiles to switch based on whether or not your presence is detected by home assistant?
This is exactly what I would like to be able to do. I have been using the Geofence in BI but I find it quite flaky. The presence detection on my Asus router seems pretty solid.
