Please read the **How to use in 1st post**. The app can only use recorded videos to identify a motion. If you have a new device, you have also 1 month free cloud storage. And if you haven’t installed an USB stick at your sync module, the cloud store is used. ---

I know but this is nothing to do with motion i guess. Its about when you press the button and the flow starts. Fot example. The flow is when someone press the doorbel button. Then the sonos speaker has to play dingdong. But when i press the button it takes 30 seconds to play it. Its nog the sonos. I also tested it with lights. ---

A button press also only start a video recording. Anf it that’s done and the video is available, the app can start the flow trigger. It’s all about videos. The Blink API has nothing for real motion alert or button press. The Blink app just sends push messages to your mobile phone. ---

Hi, since couple of weeks I always get kicked out of the account every other day. This prevents the System to be Disarmed. When trying to login the first attemp fails due to **incorrect login data** , second try always works. Any idea? ![IMG_5255](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/a/3a1ba1fb039da87299052573d39d0ab2aac93236.jpeg) ---

Hi Ronny, many thanks for replying! My SD card has lots of space, right now it is at 18% of storage used. How should I check if the video was available in the blink app? Which filename should I compare from that debug log with the blink app? Many times, during try #2, it crashes with this error log: 8686cc6a-94e3-48ad-8e8a-72631744b40b ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/7/b7b8f05e14b3cee2175c9c77e280daa8955eac39.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/e/eee7f31e8c35998023172d01ff91e27eec02e50b.png) ---

This export is done after a motion detection. This video should be available in Blink app on your mobile. You can only check this by timestamp. Your last report has strange errors caused inside Node core modules (crypto). No idea atm what’s wrong. Perhaps related to a Homey FW update installing new Node module versions… Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported at Cipheriv.createCipherBase (node:internal/crypto/cipher:122:19) at Cipheriv.createCipherWithIV (node:internal/crypto/cipher:141:3) at new Cipheriv (node:internal/crypto/cipher:249:3) at Object.createCipheriv (node:crypto:141:10) at /app/node\_modules/ntlm/lib/smbhash.js:46:22 at Array.forEach () at lmhashbuf (/app/node\_modules/ntlm/lib/smbhash.js:45:20) at Object.encodeType3 (/app/node\_modules/ntlm/lib/ntlm.js:106:3) at Object.generate (/app/node\_modules/@marsaud/smb2/lib/messages/session\_setup\_step2.js:14:22) at SMB2Forge.request (/app/node\_modules/@marsaud/smb2/lib/tools/smb2-forge.js:16:24) ---

Looks like that the error: ```auto error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported ``` is caused by the use of a cryptographic algorithm (createCipheriv) in a context where is no longer supported in Node.js 17+ due to OpenSSL 3 restrictions. Many legacy algorithms (like DES or RC4) are now disabled by default. **Possible solutions (I cannot do that unless given access to source code):** 1. **Update dependencies** : Try updating `ntlm` or `@marsaud/smb2` to versions compatible with Node 17+. 2. **Downgrade Node.js** : If possible, switch back to Node.js 16 where these algorithms are still supported. 3. **Use a temporary workaround** (not recommended for production): ```auto export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider ``` This re-enables support for legacy crypto algorithms. This issue could indeed be triggered by a Homey firmware update that upgraded the Node.js runtime or its modules. I am not in a rush, but @RonnyW do you think it is something you can put in your roadmap? ---

Short update: All SMB2 NodeJS modules are still using the deprecated encryption. I only found one (1!) that was updated to OpenSSL3. I exchanged the modules and adapted the app. Seems to work fine. But I still want to do some tests. I’ll give you an update next week when I’m back. ---

Hi, I’m really enjoying the flexibility of this app. I’m using the save a snapshot to an FTP server action and it’s working well. I just noticed that on the transition to the new day (between 12:00 AM - 01:00 AM) the timestamp of the saved files is stored as 24:00:00 instead of 00:00:00. At 1AM it correctly displays as 01:00:00. I’m not sure if this is coming from the actual camera, from the app, or my homey config so just curious if anyone else has encountered this and if any workarounds exist. ![2025-07-21_18-59-19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/0/c0130e53b3f9d8bd01d53c62bb8d9d4307e35df4.png) ---
