That’s 1-to-1 dependency.
I just use the on/off and device tile quickaction for that, so you can easily access it and see the state. That doesn’t switch the camera on/off (because it’s not possible vie API).
Same is for the system/LinkModule. The Homey on/off action arms/disarms the Blink system.
hmm, in my case I’m missing the THEN card for switching Motion Detection Off, because my videos are triggered only if a door is opened, MD is off to avoid to many videos. I understand the API doesn’t give you access to it. It’s however strange that the status of the MD is available, as an AND card, if you can’t set it.
As describes above, just use these cards for your camera device. This will switch the motion detection on the “real” camera.
this would not work for me. In my use case a presence trigger should switch on the camera w/out motion detection:-(
I think we’re talking past each other.
You mean you want to record a video when your presence detector gets triggered?
Use this THEN card for:
Or what else do you mean with “switch camera”?
yeah, I think we talk past each other for some reason … I do use the card you shared already, my only wish is to turn of motion detection while having the camera set to on.
This turns off motion detection for your “real” camera.
Homey device gets greyed out (like a switched off device).
And cameras motion detection gets deactivated.
The camera is still on and can be used with “record video” flow actions.
Hmm, thanks for your persistence … I tried this, switching the cam off, but it did not record a video … I will take a look at this again …
Ok, let’s start from the beginnig 
Please note what’s your trigger and waht actions should be done then.
I think I managed to get it working, thanks. The cause for the confusion was, I guess, that for some reason a flow which should trigger the recording of the video was disabled. And I thought the Cam was disabled. My bad. Thanks for staying with me 
Please keep in mind that when you record a video or create a snapshot fom Homey, the camera is busy while recording. So it won’t work to create a snapshop and directly try to record a video. You have to wait berween such actions or the flow card will error (due to a http error from Blink cloud).
Hello,
Thank you very much for your great works
I have a small issue when I try to send recorded video via FTP
the received error is “Failed to POST to url: rest-e007.immedia-semi.com/api/v1/accounts/8465/networks/8408/sync_modules/null/local_storage/manifest/request (status code: 400)”
The Id of the video is {“id”:“709515763”,“storage”:“local”,“url”:null,“cameraId”:8579,“networkId”:8408,“syncmoduleId”:null,“source”:“pir”}
I guess we have the issue because the SyncModule ID is null (I don’t know why)?
Below the script that I am using
Thank you for your help
Hi and welcome to the forum,
yes, the Syncmodule is lissing there.
It should be determined automatically via netroek id.
To be sure, can you please describe your system?
I’ll test this behaviour next days and give you a feedback.
I don’t use this by myself, so perhaps something in BlinkAPI has changed in the meantime.
Hi,
Thank you for your quick answer
Currently, I have one Camera “Outdoor 3 Blink”, One doorbell “Video Doorbell Blink” and a sync module with USB installed for local storage. I don’t have cloud subscription
I can see the stored video in the Blink mobile app of both camera and doorbell
Below the status of the sync module (in homey app)
Thanks and regards
I’m considering investing in some Blink kit and of course want a great integration with Homey. This app looks excellent - thanks @RonnyW.
I’m planning on not using the subscription, and instead using local storage on the SyncModule 2. I understand this will result in slower response for motion detection in Homey which I am fine with.
I was hoping someone could answer a few questions before I hit the button.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Yes, it’s slower. Most difference:
No, there is no instant alarm. That’s only available via push message to your mobile phone (Blink app).
For Homey, the video doorbell is just a camera that records a video. So you will habe the same delay like other cameras.
No, all is done via cloud API. The app can’t access devices directly.
It’s the same API that is used by the Blink app (unofficial, reverse engineered). Every request is going to teh Blink cloud and the cloud is calling the devices in your home.
Thanks @RonnyW much appreciated. I understand now how this is implemented. I think the no instant alert from the doorbell might be a killer for me. Shame as the Blink kit otherwise looked really good value for money.
Thanks again for the rapid and comprehensive response.
Jon
Hi @RonnyW,
Did you get a chance to ckeck the issue of empty SyncModule ID that I have when I trying to send a video via FTP
Thx & regards,
I checked it with my setup but there the ID was set. I forgot to investigate deeper 
I put it on my todo list.
Thank you so much
