blinkpy-0.14.0.dev1

• Convert all timestamps to UTC. This should eliminate weird timezone issues. Unless Blink implemented stuff wrong on there end...which seems entirely possible.

• Added a motion_interval parameter. Normally, when checking for motion the library just looks as far back as the last refresh. The motion_interval variable will modify this check by looking past the last performed refresh PLUS an additional number of minutes set by this variable. In testing, I found that one minute is a good default to ensure information has propagated to blink servers and is ready by the time a refresh is called.

  • Now, this will be even more useful to debug since if timezone shenanigans are afoot, we can just set the motion_interval parameter to look back N hours to compensate. Checkmate, blink 😄

  • To use this new parameter, either initialize Blink with it via blink = blinkpy.Blink(motion_interval=<Number of Minutes>) or, after it has been initialized, it can be overridden on a per-sync-module basis via blink.sync['SYNCNAME'].motion_interval = NUMBER_OF_MINUTES.

• Slugify video filename (OS inter-operability for video download)

• Changes battery reporting to a state ('ok', 'replace', etc). Battery voltage is now accessible in camera attributes

blinkpy-0.14.0.dev0

• Uses new api endpoint for video retrieval
• Removes throttling from api endpoints critical to multi hub integration

blinkpy-0.13.1

• Remove throttle decorator from network status request

blinkpy-0.13.0

Breaking change:
Wifi status reported in dBm again, instead of bars (which is great). Also, the old get_camera_info method has changed and requires a camera_id parameter.

• Adds throttle decorator
• Decorate following functions with 4s throttle (call method with force=True to override):
  • request_network_status
  • request_syncmodule
  • request_system_arm
  • request_system_disarm
  • request_sync_events
  • request_new_image
  • request_new_video
  • request_video_count
  • request_cameras
  • request_camera_info
  • request_camera_sensors
  • request_motion_detection_enable
  • request_motion_detection_disable
• Use the updated homescreen api endpoint to retrieve camera information. The old method to retrieve all cameras at once seems to not exist, and this was the only solution I could figure out and confirm to work.
• Adds throttle decorator to refresh function to prevent too many frequent calls with force_cache flag set to True. This additional throttle can be overridden with the force=True argument passed to the refresh function.
• Add ability to cycle through login api endpoints to anticipate future endpoint deprecation

blinkpy-0.12.1

• Remove logging improvements since they were incompatible with home-assistant logging

blinkpy-0.12.0

• Add new video api endpoint, fix motion detection
• Prevent blinkpy platform from failing to setup on api error
• Add repeat log filtering
• Improve logging
• Add download videos method

blinkpy-0.11.2

• Hotfix to prevent platform from stalling due to API change
• Motion detection and video recovery broken until new API endpoint discovered

blinkpy-0.11.1

• Fixed incorrect backup login URL
• Added calibrated temperature property to cameras

blinkpy-0.11.0

• Added support for multiple sync modules

blinkpy-0.10.3

• Use networks endpoint rather than homecreen to retrieve arm/disarm status @md-reddevil
• Fix incorrect command status endpoint @md-reddevil
• Add extra debug logging
• Remove error prior to re-authorization (only log error when re-auth failed)
