Blink

</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">blink</code> component lets you view camera images and motion events from <a href="http://blinkforhome.com">Blink</a> camera and security systems.</p>
<p>You will need your Blink login information (username, usually you email address, and password) to use this module.</p>
<p>To set it up, add the following information to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">blink</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">username</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YOUR_USERNAME</span>
<span class="s">password</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YOUR_PASSWORD</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>username</strong> (<em>Required</em>): Your username to login to Blink.</li>
<li><strong>password</strong> (<em>Required</em>): Your password to login to Blink.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once loaded, your front end will have the following components:</p>
<ul>
<li>A camera image for each camera in your system.</li>
<li>A binary_sensor per camera that indicates whether motion detection is enabled.</li>
<li>A binary_sensor for the system that indicates if the system is armed or disarmed.</li>
<li>A sensor per camera that reports temperature.</li>
<li>A sensor per camera that reports battery level.</li>
<li>A sensor per camera that reports unread notification (i.e., detected motion events).</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the cameras are battery operated, the images are only updated in Home Assistant when the user manually forces a new photo. This image can be updated with the <code class="highlighter-rouge">snap_picture</code> service to force Home Assistant to request an update from Blinks servers. As a note, all of the camera-specific sensors are only polled when a new image is requested from the camera. This means that relying on any of these sensors to provide timely and accurate data is not recommended.</p>
<p>Services:</p>
<p>This services are available for the <code class="highlighter-rouge">blink</code> component:</p>
<ul>
<li>arm_system</li>
<li>arm_camera</li>
<li>snap_picture</li>
</ul>
<p>For <code class="highlighter-rouge">arm_system</code>, the value sent can be either <code class="highlighter-rouge">True</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">False</code> and will arm and disarm the whole Blink system. Arm system example:</p>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nt">"device_armed"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"True"</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre>
</div>
<p>Arm camera follows a similar structure, but each individual camera can have motion detection enabled or disabled. Because of this, you also need to supply a name. For example, if you have a camera named “Living Room” and you want to turn off motion detection on that camera, you would call the <code class="highlighter-rouge">arm_camera</code> service with the following payload:</p>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nt">"friendly_name"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"Living Room"</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nt">"device_armed"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"False"</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre>
</div>
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">snap_picture</code> service takes the camera name as the payload and with take a new picture with your camera.</p>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="nt">"friendly_name"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"Living Room"</span><span class="w">
</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre>
