Blink Mini thumbnails no longer working #99

Open ecws2021 opened 2 years ago

ecws2021 commented 2 years ago

Yesterday I noticed my Blink Mini thumbnails were no longer showing up. I rebooted homebridge and my raspberry pi multiple times. I rebooted all of the cameras multiple times, did not work. I disabled and re-enabled the plugin and it did not work. I uninstalled and re-installed the plugin and it did not work. I tried running it as a child bridge, did not work.

I can still arm/disarm. When cameras are armed, they will show a thumbnail of the last motion event (whether that was minutes or days ago) When cameras are disarmed, they show the grey "privacy mode, blink cameras disarmed" screen. I can hear the cameras taking the thumbnail, but they are not showing up in homebridge.

I'm at a total loss as to what has happened. No settings were changed in homebridge, homekit or my raspberry pi. So perhaps Blink has changed something on their end?

Please help!!!!!

Can you clarify what behaviour you expect it to be doing? Do you expect the privacy mode to display? Do you want it to be taking still images even when it is not armed?

I think there was a bug when the thumbnails would be taken, but not shown when the 'privacy mode' switch was enabled. Change that switch setting to off and you should now see it.

Previously it was taking a still image whenever I checked my "home" app, regardless if it was armed or not.

I do have privacy mode switched off and still am not getting fresh thumbnails. I see outdated stills of the last time it detected motion.

@colinbendell im suffering the same issue with Blink new external cameras too. HomeKit updates stills to last motion not as previously with a fresh snapshot. Can’t pin down when it started but at least a couple weeks

colinbendell commented 2 years ago

The root issue was that blink changed the format of their thumbnails, so the plugin wasn't able to accurately detect if the thumbnail had changed. Give the 3.9 version a try and see if it has remedied the problem for you.

@colinbendell From what I can see now the behaviour is different (and was in the release notes). Now my thumbnails only update if the cameras are armed. Previously they just updated all the time which was exactly how I liked it. Any chance we can return to that behaviour or have it as an option? I disarm my cameras in the day but like to check in using home and thumbnails.

Hello, thumbnails are not working and I now get this in Terminal, can you advise what is wrong?

I believe that error is from the diagnostic debug. can you disable that?

bluntiless commented 2 years ago

Hi thanks that worked. The thumbnail is not updating and liveview says no response. I have XT model from 2019. Does this work usually?

colinbendell commented 2 years ago

Homekit sometimes gets in a weird state. try disabling motion and then arm + enable motion. (This functionally turns 'manual-status' in HAP to 'offline' and then back to 'online') This should get Homekit out of the funk and get it polling for new imagse.

Guten Tag! Seit fast 7 Tagen habe ich das Problem, dass ich KEINE Ansicht mehr in HomeKit habe! Die Ansicht der Kameras zeigt eine KEINE Antwort .... Es lässt sich nichts beheben. BITTE FEEDBACK mit Lösung

Danke
