How to connect blink cameras to smartthings

[Bubbleintrouble_Mart (Bubbleintrouble Martin)]

I am trying to find out how to connect my blink cameras to the smartthings app. Any help would be appreciated.

Blink does not have any cloud to cloud integration, unfortunately. You will have to use IFTTT and ST virtual devices, and that only will provide you with arming, disarming, and certain notifications. You can’t get any video streamed into ST.

I’m a long time Blink and ST user, and have been waiting years for something to happen, and I’m not holding my breath for anything. I use IFTTT as I described above to arm/disarm my systems depending upon presence arrivals, and other conditions.

this is how I have mine setup to arm/disarm Blink for recording clips.

Quickly connect Blink to SmartThings - IFTTT

If you don’t want to pay for IFTTT you can use Alexa with virtual Alexa switches created in SmartThings to arm and disarm Blink cameras with SmartThings.

And you can use Alexa and virtual motion sensors created in SmartThings to bring motion alerts into SmartThings.

Same for me, using IFTTT and Virtual Switches.
