Dear community , as a new user with Homey and Blink Cameras I was hoping for a “seamless” integration . However the Blink App is requesting your username and password which is a clear roadblock for new Blink’s customers . Indeed the new account’s credentials with Blink are based on **email** only and password. According to Blink’s support there is no option to generate a username on top anymore. If there is an Homey ecosystem lead who could make the Blink App developers updating the way to connect the two environment with both options , meaning username and email , it would be great. if someone has a workaround solution , please let me know as well 🙂 thanks ---

Hello, just insert your email into the username field 😉 ---

Hi Ronny, I have tried this path before posting my message . But it did not work with my email I used on my Blink Account/mobile app. ---

Can you share the error (screenshot)? Adding cameras ist not possible in the current version because of API changes by Blink. That`s not caused by the username. A fix for this error is in development. So please check the Blink tread for updates. > [@\[App\] Blink](https://community.homey.app/t/app-blink/2894/163): > > would be really great… ---

It`s the API problem and will be fixed when the developer of the Blink app will include the bugfixes (see Blink app thread).
