I made a quick fix: The app checks now cloud and local storage independent of subscription. Can you please test if this is working for you?

If you only want to trigget lights, it would be easier to use a motion sensor. I’m doing it the same at the entrance. If you want to get instant motion alerts, you can also make a subscription for only one camera. Then you also get a preview image from the motion trigger, ypu can send as push message. I did it for my entrance camera to see who is out there directly in the push message. Using the Blink app you only get the text massage and have to check the video. So it’s a small advantage having a one camera subscription. ---

I cannot connect my Blink Account in the Blink for Home-App. I always get an error message saying that I don‘t have the right password. What do I wrong? ---

Can you please install the app version again from the app store? We had similar issues causes by a broken update (only parts of the app got updated). This was fixed by Athom. But perhaps you got a damaged update. Edit: wait, I think I found a possible case in the app. Let me check… ---

New **test version 2.0.4** : - addes **setting for local/cloud video check** in account device settings ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/7/774e8bf1912b1e777288bbd8f97738a1b981df69.png) The previous version only had one setting to activate/deactivate video check. The decision between cloud and/or local was done based on an active subscription. The possible subscriptions are not clear atm. So I added a second setting to control both video checks manually. Please deactivate the one you don’t need. If you have a partial subscription (camera based, not all cameras) and you are using cloud and SyncModule , keep active both. PS: This update does not solve the Blink API issue ---

Blink changed the API again (or blocked auth URLs beside oAuth). I have to check the update of BlinkPY. It seems, the app had to “simulate” the auth screen. I can start to implement a fix in a week… If you are already logged in: don’t re-auth. The token refresh should work. If you can’t log in: Please wait for a fix. ---

Short update… I got implemented the half way. I’m using BlinkPY as blueprint. But BlinkPY seems to use auto http cookie handling. Something I had to add to my JS code. I have some other pre XMas work to do and can continue next week. Stay tuned. And sorry for the delay. ---

Bonjour, Je viens de migrer de Homey (2018 vers 2023). La restauration des paramètres, connexion avec les appareils s’est bien passée sauf avec l’appli Blink. J’avais des triangles rouges sur chaque appareil Blink ainsi que sur le compte. J’ai essayé de réparer sans succès. J’ai donc supprimé tous mes appareils Blink et tenté de recréer les appareils. Après la saisie des identifiants, j’ai un message d’erreur ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/f/af87f1631829e13e2e6cdd6bda4d7b94bce03465.png) J’ai modifié le mot de passe Blink (la connexion avec l’appli Android est ok) et retenté sur Homey mais toujours pas bon. Pourriez-vous m’aider svp ? Dans l’attente de votre retour, je vous remercie par avance Bien cordialement ---
