Hi all - I’ve been using Blink w/ ST for a while now. Just went through and upgraded (Blink Camera Manager says v05.07.01)… but now am having an issue.

I added a new camera in Blink (I went from 4 to 5). I then upgraded ST Blink Device Handler and SmartApp

When I go into the ST App for Blink (Blink Camera Manager) as the directions state; it appears to work fine. I enter my login details, I see all 5 of my cameras. When I click done - it says Blink Camera Manager is installed and automating… and then I get an error - DeviceNetworkID must be unique. And then I get an error about not being able to add a camera.

I tried deleting the new camera in Blink - no problem. When I go into ST Blink Camera Manager - I now see 4. But I still get the same errors.

I read this whole thread - and back in April someone else had this issue. I went into the Installed Smart Apps area and confirmed I only have 1 Blink Camera Manager listed. I unchecked the “enable local child app discovery”. Still having the error.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I suspect you’ve somehow ended up with 2 instance of Blink camera manager.
Each one is creating a device hence the conflict. Delete all and start over
clean or delete the cameras and start over. Make sure only ONE instance of
the smart app is installed.

Thanks - I was able to get it working. I removed all automations associated with each camera, and then removed each camera manually. I then when into Blink Camera Manager smart app and started over. Every appears to be working properly now.

1315

When I look at your code, it does not show the updated versions…is that correct?

1316

Stark, raving newbie here.

I have tried all the steps listed here several times, and I continue to get “Error creating access token, have you ENABLED OAUTH in app?” error, and yes, I did do that step and verify that it created.

What am I missing?

(Android 7.0, Galaxy S7 Edge)

Thanks!

Not sure never seen it before. Try to delete and start over otherwise contact ST support. For some reason it isn’t enabling OAuth on your account

Have you enabled the option to end recording if no motion is detected? This option is there in the native blink app and needs to be enabled for each camera.

It’s the ST platform running slow and timing out. @slagle @Aaron FYI

RBoy - love this integration, one of the most used SmartApps in SmartThings for me…

Are there any plans to have some sort of web based access through IDE? I’d love to be able to see all the cameras at once on a single web page.

Have you tried using SmartTiles? IMHO that’s an amazing solution for all
your devices

1323

Just want to chime in amongst all the praise.

Bought 5 Blinks, set them up and then bought access to @RBoy’s DH.
Just as easy as 1, 2 ,3: I followed the instructions and now have them integrated with ST.

Thanks!

Thanks. I have SmartTiles set up but honestly haven’t used it in a while… I will revisit!

1325

As far as I know SmartTiles needs a URL per camera and I don’t think Blink supports this. Please tell me if you’ve found otherwise

1326

I have everything working with Blink, but have a question with Configure Action When Motion is detected. Currently I have nothing set in that area, including Pictures set to off. However, it appears that pictures are still being taken when a camera is armed. Is this a bug?

1327

I so want Blink to expose a URL so I can buy some but sadly this is not supported. I use SmartTiles a lot and this (doorbell video) are the last piece to a fairly complete puzzle.

I’ve been getting quite a few (atleast 1-2 per day) notifications that my Blink Module is offline. Every time I check, it is back online, causing me to think this is a fleeting issue at best.

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the issue or if there was a remedy. I never had the issue before the last SmartThings update, but that may be unrelated.

Have seen it here too. The alert pops-up and the module is working and live video is active.

No issue with my 21 Blinks.

I have an issue when looking at a live feed in the SmartThings App, iPhone version. I can watch the video with no issues until I use " [ ] " to view full screen and I get an error message: “Error: Stream cannot be opened. Failed to connect to the server.” I hit “OK” and have to hit the “X” to close the window and get back to camera tile.

Parent and child apps are the current versions.
