I have the same issue. I can arm and disarm the system, I can turn the cams on and off, but I am not getting a motion trigger. That is really unfortunate. I wanted to use the HEIMDALL plugin but w/o the motion trigger is does not work.

Hi @ObelixNL,

I have the same question as @Munnikie, chanlee, TobiasU and NGH: could you add the blink mini as a new device? Let me know if you need any support from us for testing, troubleshooting or a donation.

Cheers,  
Dennis

Hello DennisO,

What is not working on the Blink Mini camera? The app should show the camera as a device.

Maybe you can test our test application?

Thanks! With the test application I can now see the option to add the blink mini camera and I have been able to successfully configure it as a new device. When I try to view the snapshot I get the error message “invalid\_image\_buffer”.

Will this affect the connection to blink cameras?

Done and included diag report but I don’t think that will bring much. As you can see above it seems most users have this on .5

If you want access to cams pm me for the access codes if you need

The version 1.0.5 is not able to login. It gives only error message “invalid credentials”.  
There us no 2FA screen coming up.

Login in blink app is ok with 2FA code via SMS.  
Is this a known problem?

Same problem here. Can not log in and app is unable to control my blink XT2 cams anymore.  
By the way: there are only indoor and mini cams to add as new devices.

Hi,  
can´t add a Blink mini, using this app for the first time today. When searching for the cam, I always get the error message „cannot read property ‚name‘ of undefined“.  
An other user got the same issue: [Cannot add blink camera](https://community.homey.app/t/cannot-add-blink-camera/45139)  
Is this related to the login problem? I mean, I had no working Blink before, so perhaps even linking a Blink mini to homey won´t be possible?

Any updates for the auth error?  
Is the app still in development or is it abandoned?  
I was looking for additional cameras, but not without the integration 😪
