Automation Appears to be triggering BlusIris to block it #205

Lately, I noticed that the automation has been working perfectly feeding video to my dashboards, but a few weeks ago I applied a HA update and then overnight my camera feeds all dropped. After researching what happened I noticed that BlusIris flagged the ip address for what appeared to be too many failed logins. I removed the block and the automation continued to work. But then later it got blocked again.

Today I noticed BlueIris did an auto update and right after it restarted it got flooded with attempts my HA to connect using admin instead of the account I set it to use. which may have caused it to be blocked. Any reason why it is attempting to use admin?

Please restart HA again and identify if you see the same admin traffic. Then disable the integration and repeat.

I have seen it multiple times and have even upgraded HA a few times since I first noticed the issue. The first time I completely removed the integration and then added it back after a reboot and It is still there.

Just to check again, I did just disable the integration and rebooted HA and I saw no traffic at all coming from the HA ip address in the BlueIris logs. Also while the integration was disabled after the reboot had completed I then did a restart of BlueIris as that was the last time I saw it attempting to login with admin and everything is still clear in the logs.

After posting yesterday I remembered I had added a p/w to the admin account when it is normally blank for logins without a user account which I don't use this feature, but I cleared the p/w and so far the integration is working but would still like to know why it is attempting to use the admin account.
