andrew77 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I love the geofence stuff. When I come home the lights come on inside and out. Is there a way to arm the Blink cameras when I leave the house? Not a big deal if not. Just asking Quote Link to comment
slimypizza Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 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? Quote Link to comment
dbwarner5 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 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. Quote Link to comment
dbwarner5 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 here is a link on how to set up the geofence in UDMobile Quote Link to comment
slimypizza Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 "program IF monitors the geofence variable and the THEN arms the blink cameras" 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.

dbwarner5 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 @slimypizza Have you considered trying to use the plug in on Eisy? It looks like it can do what you are trying to do directly in the Eisy vs HA. Quote Link to comment
slimypizza Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 No I have not used the node. Looks like that may be the way to go though. Quote Link to comment
