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?
New test version 2.0.4:

If you only want to trigget lights, it would be easier to use a motion sensor. Iām 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 itās a small advantage having a one camera subscription.
I cannot connect my Blink Account in the Blink for Home-App.

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 checkā¦

Ok, have the issue, too.
Seems to be an error a Blink - or another API change
opened 05:04PM - 04 Dec 25 UTC
**Describe the bug**
Since this afternoon I've been experiencing authentication ā¦ errors with blinkpy. Before that my script had been running flawlessly for exactly one month (i.e. with the new auth method), but now there is a token handling problem. Reauthentication fails,
Login via app with identical credentials works without problems.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Test skript:
````
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import asyncio
from getpass import getpass
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from blinkpy.blinkpy import Blink
from blinkpy.auth import Auth, BlinkTwoFARequiredError, UnauthorizedError
async def main():
username = input("Username: ").strip()
password = getpass("Password: ")
async with ClientSession() as session:
blink = Blink(session=session)
# Nur Username/Passwort, KEINE Token-Datei, KEIN Refresh
blink.auth = Auth(
{"username": username, "password": password},
session=session,
no_prompt=False,
)
try:
print("Calling blink.start() ...")
await blink.start()
print("blink.start() returned without raising.")
except BlinkTwoFARequiredError:
print("2FA required, calling blink.prompt_2fa() ...")
await blink.prompt_2fa()
print("2FA flow completed.")
except UnauthorizedError:
print("UnauthorizedError raised by blinkpy (invalid credentials / token flow).")
raise
except Exception as e:
print(f"Other exception raised by blinkpy: {e!r}")
raise
print("Login completed without exception.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
````
2. Login with username/password
**Expected behavior**
Should have asked for 2FA
**Home Assistant version (if applicable):** <HA Version Number>
**`blinkpy` version (not needed if filling out Home Assistant version):**
0.24.1
Python 3.11

**Log Output/Additional Information**

Calling blink.start() ...

New test version 2.0.4 :
addes setting for local/cloud video check in account device settings
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 donāt 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 āsimulateā the auth screen. I can start to implement a fix in a weekā¦
If you are already logged in: donāt re-auth. The token refresh should work.
If you canāt log in: Please wait for a fix.
I have installed in my Homey Pro
I have a Blink account and cameras
But when I try to add my account it fails
The account is active I confirmed my password.
Any ideas or advice please?

Thanks. I thought it was just me
Look forward to the fix

Thatās still the information about the last API change. It comes up on app restart.

Short updateā¦
I got implemented the half way. Iām 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.

App keeps on telling me that my credentials are incorrect, although I double checked twice with the original app.
Any idea what might cause the issue?
Thanks
Bonjour,
Je viens de migrer de Homey (2018 vers 2023).
La restauration des paramĆØtres, connexion avec les appareils sāest bien passĆ©e sauf avec lāappli Blink.
Jāavais des triangles rouges sur chaque appareil Blink ainsi que sur le compte.
Jāai essayĆ© de rĆ©parer sans succĆØs.
Jāai donc supprimĆ© tous mes appareils Blink et tentĆ© de recrĆ©er les appareils.
AprĆØs la saisie des identifiants, jāai un message dāerreur
Jāai modifiĆ© le mot de passe Blink (la connexion avec lāappli Android est ok) et retentĆ© sur Homey mais toujours pas bon.
Pourriez-vous māaider svp ?
Dans lāattente de votre retour, je vous remercie par avance
Bien cordialement
