Connectivity Status Not Updating W/BI Version 5.5.7

[RJ-Make]

I just noticed one of my camera's went down at 12:47am, but the HA BI Integration still had connectivity as 'connected'.

So as an experiment, I shut down my POE switch for all the cameras and even after 15 min all connectivity sensor were still 'connected'.

The connectivity is reliant on MQTT. Do you have it setup for those cameras and are you seeing the messages being sent from Blue Iris?

[RJ-Make]

Oh, I didn't know that. Is this something that I needed to setup? I don't remembering ever doing that. (other then motion alerts)

[kramttocs]

Yeah, check this out: https://github.com/elad-bar/ha-blueiris/blob/master/docs/blueiris-server.md#watchdog-connectivity

I ran into the same thing when I first started using the integration. :)

I also sent an email to BI support awhile back requesting a way to globally set some of the MQTT messages. And then just exclude/override them on the cameras you don't want to have the global setting.

Ay Caramba...., I completely missed that, and I NEVER set it up. Makes me think, what else did I miss..

Thank You!

Shouldn't the highlighted section below (for signal restoration) be { "type": "Connectivity", "trigger": "ON" }

I have updated that as I believe it was a copy/paste from the Alert payload. Thank you
