tmorse305 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hi @Panda88, I'm stuck in a loop trying to authenticate. I start the NS and the log says invalid pin. A few seconds later Blink texts me a new code. I enter that into the NS configuration and save, hit restart but it fails again and Blink sends a new code. I also tried not restarting but the result is the same. The NS periodically tries again and I get a new code from Blink each time. Any suggestions?

wrj0 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Similar situation here; periodically getting the Blink notice about the verification code. Putting the code into the plugin as AUTH_KEY doesn't seem to help. Blink plugin Debug log shows: 2024-04-24 10:08:04,546 Thread-7 blinkpy.auth ERROR auth:query: Unable to access https://rest-u017.immedia-semi.com/api/v3/accounts/34xxxx/homescreen after token refresh. 2024-04-24 10:08:04,546 Thread-7 udi_interface INFO BlinkSystem:auth: Auth key required Not sure how to proceed to provide the required Auth key.

Panda88 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I will take a look later - it is possible they have changed their authentication procedure - I need to research this as it is not using an official API 2 Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just to follow up - it seems the authentication has changed - waiting for update to API 3 Quote Link to comment
wrj0 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Hi @Panda88 Any progress on getting the Blink plugin to authenticate? Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 It is a common issue in the API - waiting on an update to the API I have been using Alexa to control in the mean time Sorry - I do not understand the low level communication used by Blink needed to fix this Quote Link to comment
wrj0 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Thanks for the update. There's some info in this link about "The verification end point has changed" Adding the tier to the verify url solved the issue for one user in that thread. Wonder if that's any help? Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I did play around with this but no luck so far - it requires changed deep in the API - I was hoping for a new API to be released Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I think I have found a way around this - Still need some more testing, but I can get past the login 2 Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 New node released 0.4.8 Note, the structure is changed so reinstall is likely required Quote Link to comment
wrj0 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 @Panda88 Thanks for the update! I have 0.4.8 installed and entered the newly received 2FA code, saved, them restarted. I do see a message: "New Network detected BEACH - please select ENABLED or DISABLED - then restart." But, I don't see an entry for the New Network to be able to select ENABLED. Also, the Nodes tab shows "Nodes 0" What am I doing wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 They should be shown in the configuration. Maybe try a page refresh or restart. Quote Link to comment
wrj0 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Tried refresh and restart a few times. Finally deleted the plugin, power cycled eisy, and reinstalled the plugin. Entered my Blink system username/password, and the plugin prompted for the 2FA, which was entered and saved. No ENABLED/DISABLED is available, either before or after restarting the plugin. And Nodes tab still shows Nodes 0. Other suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
tmorse305 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 (edited) To enable you need to add a new key. The Key is the name of your network (case sensitive) and the value is ENABLED. I used all caps for the key, it didn't work with upper and lower case. Edited June 12 by tmorse305 1 Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) the code is supposed to populate the network names automatically - can you send me a log file (debug enabled) and I'll try to understand what is happening Yes - entering the key manually should work as well . if there is more than 1 network create a key per network Edited June 12 by Panda88 Quote Link to comment
wrj0 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Adding the key manually (case sensitive) with value ENABLED did the trick. All good now. Quote Link to comment

Panda88 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 thanks - you log shows your network name already - so it does not excercise the portion of the code that is supposed to add the possible networks I have access to my system again so I can experiment a little to figure out what is going on - I tried it once and it worked, so I did not test more Quote Link to comment

wrj0 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Kudos to @Panda88 for solving the Blink authentication issue. It's great to once again have geofence enabling/disabling of camera motion detection. Well done! Question on one of the IoX camera fields, please. What does "No Support" mean in the Connected field below? One level above the camera, the plugin shows "Connected: Online" Quote Link to comment
Panda88 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I have not found a way to know if the camera is on line or not ( the older cameras) So i reply there is no support. Any suggestion is appreciated Quote Link to comment
wrj0 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 OK, thanks The Rest command for my camera: http://192.xxx.yyy.zzz:8080/rest/nodes/n004_1023646 returns: <nodeInfo> <node flag="0" nodeDefId="blinkcamera"> <address>n004_1023646</address> <name>BeachDeck</name> <family instance="4">10</family> <hint>0.0.0.0</hint> <parent type="1">n004_485001</parent> <type>0.0.0.0</type> <enabled>true</enabled> <deviceClass>0</deviceClass> <wattage>0</wattage> <dcPeriod>0</dcPeriod> <startDelay>0</startDelay> <endDelay>0</endDelay> <pnode>n004_485001</pnode> </node> <properties> <property id="GV0" value="0" formatted="0" uom="25" name="Motion Detection Status"/> <property id="GV1" value="0" formatted="0" uom="25" name="Battery Status"/> <property id="GV3" value="2" formatted="2" uom="25" name="CameraType"/> <property id="GV5" value="0" formatted="0" uom="25" name="Motion Detected"/> <property id="GV6" value="95" formatted="95°F" uom="17" name="Temperature"/> <property id="ST" value="98" formatted="98" uom="25" name="Connected"/> </properties> </nodeInfo> Wonder if property id="ST" would return the camera Connected state for the plugin?

Panda88 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 it is the intend, but 98 represents the No Support The older cameras shows DONE once installed but they remain the same when you take the camera off-line 1 Quote Link to comment
