About

Blink Live View Proxy is a custom integration that adds Blink camera live view to Home Assistant through a local proxy service. The proxy logs in to Blink with the owner's own account and serves the live stream on the local network, and it handles both of Blink's stream transports, so older xt and white cameras work too. It also provides cameras, snapshots, motion switches, sensors and an alarm panel per sync module from its own session, so Home Assistant's built-in Blink integration is not needed. Other features include a clip viewer covering a Sync Module's local storage and Blink's cloud, saving the last live view as MP4, and push-to-talk on supported cameras over HTTPS. Setup is done in the UI with the proxy address, a proxy token and a live-view duration, and options also set how often the proxy refreshes Blink. Repair notices appear when the proxy is older than the integration needs.

From the README

Unofficial Home Assistant custom integration plus a small local Blink proxy service for direct Blink live view, push-to-talk experiments, last-live-view downloads, and clip browsing from both a Sync Module's local storage and Blink's cloud.

This project started because Home Assistant's own Blink integration does not expose Blink's live-view stream. It now also provides that integration's snapshots, motion switches, sensors and arming from its own session, so that one is no longer needed — and is better removed, since it cannot keep its tokens alive (see INSTALL.md).
