Are multiple accounts allowed with the Blink Camera Manager yet?

I’ve opened a ticket with Blink. I think this is an issue on their side because the batteries in the Blink app all show full as well.

Please dont’ open tickets with Blink for ST issues, that’ completely handled here. They can’t help.
It’s showing 101% because of the way the formula works. I’ll have it corrected in the next build.

Random ST issues, if there’s an issue with the app, open the IDE live logging before clicking done and see what pops up.

Just reinstalled the device handler and the app to the newest version without any issue. I installed the Blink Camera Manager twice so that I could use two sync modules to try to increase the coverage. It’s nice that I can access both sync modules via ST without needing to log in/out with different usernames (like in the Blink App).

Thanks again RBoy.

i am not seeing a my apps from the star (marketplace) and I am running IOS 9 with smart things

Looks like I forgot to enable OAuth. I enabled it and I no longer received the error. Could have sworn I enabled it, does it reset when you update the code?

6:31:04 PM: error Error creating access token, have you ENABLED OAuth in the SmartApp Settings?

[RBoy (www.rboyapps.com - Making SmartThings Easy!)]

Good thing I put a check and message for that in there

It only creates a new access token when you reinitialize the smartapp (open and click done)

Let me start by saying I have NOT loaded the newest version. I am away from home, with only my tablet and don’t type, cut, paste, etc. With the tablet. Will do that in a week when I get home. In the meantime, question. I us SmartTiles. Used the camera tile. I can click on the camera icon, and it spins, but no picture, where do I view the picture? Thanks

You should ask the SmartTiles team @tgauchat
I believe they’re still working a BETA to display the image and cannot be displayed in the current version of SmartTiles

Just thought I’d put this out here for folks - great post from @wsutard1

If folks are experiencing “slowness” of the blink camera to upload videos/images to the Blink server.

Blink Camera Issues - Slow Connection to Servers?

I fixed the issue. While waiting for Blink support to get back to me I took to my router settings to see if anything was causing issue. My beacon interval was set at 1000 so I set it at 100. Presto, the whole Blink system started working correctly. I confirmed this by setting the interval back to 1000 and indeed did experienced the slowness. I then changed it back to 100 and,as it did the first time, it fixed all the issues. Now, my live view connects in about 6 seconds and has a 2 second delay on the video, which is full video. The motion captures are exactly 10 seconds long and will trigger again 10 seconds later. Hope this helps.

It’s not in Beta, sorry… this feature request is “deferred”. Works in proof-of-concept test, so it is possible we will add it to some future version. Just sitting in the pile of feature requests, unfortunately.

Hi @RBoy,

The Blink app is installed in ST, but it does not appear in the installed SmartApps list.

[beckwith]

This was added to the instructions:

NOTE: Due to a recent ST platform bug you may not be able to see your Blink Camera SmartApp in your phone under installed SmartApps. Until ST fixes the issue, use the following workaround for it to show up on your phone after installing the Blink Camera Manager SmartApp:

On your IDE, go to my locations -> click on List Smartapps -> then under the Blink Smart App Uncheck Enable local child app discovery. It will now show up on your phone under Installed SmartApps.
Just because you can’t see the SmartApp in your list of installed SmartApps, DO NOT Install the BLINK CAMERA MANAGER SmartApp multiple times WITH THE SAME LOGIN, there should only be one Blink Camera Manager SmartApp for each unique login

[lmosenko]

Thanks @beckwith. Got that sorted out just now. What is going on with ST? I like the new ST app, and that it loads a little faster than before. But this is a new low for them! And you know me from my posts…I normally stand up for them.

[beckwith]

Two steps forward and one back.
