Last news was that, @ObelixNL was in contact with athom on placing the app in the store. Got something to do with the old developer of the blink app. ---

Hello, The old versions must first been deleted, the old developer had two weeks to react. This is ended today! So his app will been deleted. I requested Athom to test and aprove my app ([https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.steffjenl.homey-blink](https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.steffjenl.homey-blink)) ---

Hi… I am a Homey and Github newbie 🙂 If I would like to activate or deactivate my Blink System it brings an TimeOut 30000ms warning and didn’t work. Did I config anything wrong or is this an app issue? I created a issue in Github too… Is this correctly? Sorry for the poor question! 🤐 ---

Do have your homey internet acces? And is your username and password correct in the settings ? ---

@ObelixNL yes both. Blink and homey are connected to WiFi and Internet. Password and username are correct. I can see the devices and there settings. Only if I want to activate / deactivate the system the timeout error comes. Update: If I activate the cams in the Blink app the status in Homey is changing too. Flows who activate/deactivate motion are running too. The only thing what’s not running is arm/disarm the cams via homey. Update 2: maybe I Understand the anything false!? In flows I can arm/disarm the system. Can you please tell me Wich Funktion the button in the attached picture have? Only if I press this button, than homey said the time out error. ![homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/a/ac9b90f85fa3a1604ee1daa5fe4aebd99ad2dba0.png) ---

I am looking to buy some Blink cameras. How do you all experience Blink with Homey? Like the use of snapshots etc. And is the app still under active development? Thanks! ---

I just bought a Blink XT2 but Homey doesn’t find it. (30000ms timeout) Let’s hope it’s still under development but not much reactions here… ---

(force) close the mobile app and try again, the 30S timeout is usually because the app lost a stable connection with homey itself. ---

I did, even reinstalled the Blink app. After ‘searching for devices’ i get the ‘Timed out after 30000ms’ error. Is it because it’s a XT2? ---

It’s also not possible to contact the developer. His name is not clickable. Is there somebody who can help? I bought these cameras because of the integration with Homey. Thx ---

Do you config the app correctly? A possibility is, that your username or password in the Homey App is incorrect. ---

Yes these are correct. Checked it 10 times 🙂 ---

Maybe there are a problem with the xt2… I have 3 xt first gen and they are running like a charm… Contact the developer via Github. Think that’s possible. ---

Good point, but there is no link to Github. I did find a Github blink app but it’s from another developer. Not very user friendly. Please help 😳 ---

You are right… The App from Github is from an other developer. 😔 Do you try to install the app from Github via CLI? Maybe the App from Github is running for your XT2?!? ---

CLI is Chinese for me… i try to learn. Again, not very user friendly. I have many devices with the same problem and bought Homey for connectivity. But at this level you need to learn CLI and Github and SDK and API. I am a simple user with no clue of all this programming stuff. It’s usefull to learn, but very time consuming and with my job i don’t have. I just want to connect something to Homey. I totally understand the difficulties to connect devices but please understand the difficulties from somebody who doesn’t understand all those programming languages. Thx ---

Control your Blink Camera’s using Athom’s Homey . This app is in the Homey app store. Search for Blink. ---

I managed to install the Github Blink app via CLI but it’s identical as from the app store and also doesn’t work for XT2. What can i do more? Thx [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-blink/2894.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-blink/2894.md?page=3)
