NOTE: THIS INTEGRATION HAS BEEN SUSPENDED BY AMAZON AFTER THE BLINK ACQUISITION Check out the Blink IFTTT Integration for SmartThings Folks have been requesting to integrate Blink Camera with SmartThings, so here it is finally. This has been approved by Blink. A big thank you to Blink’s management …

Can you also test with rechargeable 2300m batteries? I have one of mine on it.

Keep in mind that doing a “lot of things” with the camera in a short period of time causes the battery voltage to drop. If if you give it an hour or so to “recover” the voltage will bounce back. The right time to check the battery level would be to do a forceSensorRefresh after about an hour of not …

I have just inserted the https://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Recharge-Rechargeable-Batteries-Pre-Charged/dp/B00000J47L/ref=pd_bxgy_121_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=VCNTZH19PJBRQMPGQ649&th=1 Will keep you updated.

These are 1.2v batteries. I would be very interested in seeing how long they last before the camera circuit shuts down (low voltage) or they just run out. With 1.2v your blink DH will likely show 0% battery due to the calibration we have put so I wouldn’t rely on that when using these batteries. But…

These are nickle metal hydride batteries that run at a lower voltage. It would be real cool if these would work over a long period of time. I tend to think they won’t however.

Well the main issue with NiMH batteries are that they lose about 10-15% of the charge at room temp and as high as 90% at 70C every 30 days. So even though 2300mah sounds good it only works well if used in a short period of time say 6 months or less. The self discharge itself would be close to 60+% i…

By the way, temperature impacts the discharge curve also. I always suspected Blink included temperature in their unit for a more accurate battery reading. Of course they aren’t designed for outdoor use, so my theory probably doesn’t hold. Yet, Lithium batteries handle temperature extremes better tha…

True so since your asked I’ll share a few more data points: [image] [image]
