Geofence to trigger Blink cameras when leaving

Any answer to this?  I’d like to do the same thing.  I use geofencing already and have variables set up based on who is home so logically it should be easy to arm cameras based on these variables.  I do not have the Blink node yet.  Is doing something like this possible?

I do not have Blink cameras so am unfamiliar with what capabilities with the Plug-in are available. However, if you do have the plug-in and if you can arm it via the AC, through a  program, then its very easy to tie you geofence into this.

Example: 

-Geofence turns a variable from 0 to 1 when you leave. 

-program IF monitors the geofence variable and the THEN arms the blink cameras

-ELSE unarm the blink.

Thanks, Yes I have geofencing set up and it works fine.  Its the THEN arms the blink cameras part I'm asking about.  The only hook I have is alarm_control_panel.blink_home  in Home Assistant.  I am trying to figure how to call that from EISY.
