Error during setup Blink camera system

Configuration
1

Hi,

I try to connect my new Blink XT camera system to HA. But I get an error in the logs:

2019-05-25 17:04:13 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Error during setup of component blink Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/homeassistant/setup.py", line 156, in _async_setup_component component.setup, hass, processed_config) # type: ignore File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 57, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/homeassistant/components/blink/__init__.py", line 93, in setup hass.data[BLINK_DATA].start() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/blinkpy/blinkpy.py", line 105, in start sync_module.start() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/blinkpy/sync_module.py", line 116, in start force=True) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/blinkpy/camera.py", line 125, in update thumb_addr = self.get_thumb_from_homescreen() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/blinkpy/camera.py", line 197, in get_thumb_from_homescreen for device in self.sync.homescreen['devices']: AttributeError: 'BlinkSyncModule' object has no attribute 'homescreen'

So the Blink componente does not appear in HA.
I’m using Hass.io 0.93.2

This is my entry in the configuration.yaml:

blink:
  username: YOUR_USERNAME
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD

Is it a bug in -HA or is there something I have to do myself?

Thanks

That looks like a bug in the library. Try this:

  1. In the blink app on your phone, click the camera button to take a picture.
  2. Once it displays on your screen, restart home assistant

That SHOULD get your blink integration working. Please let me know the results.

I had the exact same issue with a Blink XT outdoor camera and this worked perfectly, thanks.

I’ve been using Blink for a while in HA, and it stopped working the other day. I’ve tried the snapshot/restart trick a few times, but it still doesn’t work.

If I try load the URL that shows in the back trace (backtrack below) into my browser, it says that the certificate has expired.

Any other way to kickstart this?

Thanks!

I am having this problem as well.
Tried the snapshot/restart, no success. My logs show the exact same thing.

I think it’s related to this issue

TLDR; Subdomain certs expired, Blink moved to new subdomains. This was already planned for in the component, but won’t be in until 0.94.0 in a few days (or you can install the latest beta, which also includes the fix, to see if it fixes the problem).

Blink is working for me in 0.94.
Thanks!

That solution solved it for me as well!
