Blink Outdoor 4Not workingHomeKit says camera disabled; no thumbnails or live feed

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this, but I have Blink Outdoor 4 cameras and a Blink Video doorbell. I successfully installed this plugin and logged in and added to HomeKit but I have two issues: 1. HomeKit detects my cameras but when I try to open them in HomeKit it just says "This camera has been disabled." and I do not know what I am doing wrong or how to enable them. 2. HomeKit is not detecting the Blink Video Doorbell. Does this plugin support the video doorbell or is there a way to get it work? A few notes: I am running the latest Homebridge v2.0.0-alpha.81 with Homebridge …

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
