| Blink Mini camera | Not working | Cameras would not authenticate with plugin after a full day of trying; returnedSaved copyNot OP, but I literally tried this all day yesterday, and getting my cameras authenticated by the plugin just never took.. been using Homebridge & Scrupted for about 5 years now, and couldn't troubleshoot this into a workable state Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Reddit comment · 2023-11 |
| Blink Outdoor 4 | Not working | HomeKit says camera disabled; no thumbnails or live feedSaved copyI'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 … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #12 · 2025-11 |
