Awesome you got it figured out. Most of us that were Blink supporters used RBoys integration. The IFTTT is a joke compared to the flexibility it offered. I have 3 sync modules and the way you set it up above is the only option available now. I hate that we lost so much.

Thanks. I wasn’t aware of another way but the info in the video still works

Is this still working for you? I’m trying to use my Blink cameras as a motion detector, but IFTTT never seems to send the alert to SmartThings. I know it is setup right, since as soon as I go to IFTTT and click “check” applet, it runs correctly. Any ideas?

Ah interesting, thanks. No android devices here unfortunately. Perhaps I will wait for a Ring Doorbell or Nest hello since those seem to have a little better integration. Reason for all this is I love the idea of using the new Echo Speaks to put volume to 100 and play a “Dog Barking” sound effect w…

Works for me. I don’t use “just the motion” in ST. I use it to arm and disarm blink and use the blink system for security.
