blinkpy-0.16.0-rc2

Breaking Change:

The BlinkCamera.set_motion_detect() method is deprecated and being replaced with BlinkCamera.arm. Usage is as follows:

To arm/disarm a BlinkCamera object named camera, just set the arm property to either True or False like so:

camera.arm = True

Calling the same property will return the last updated camera status (perform a refresh at the sync module or blink level to update the status after setting).

All changes:

• Mark devices as unavailable on None response from server (#272)
• Add arm property to cameras (#273)
• Only refresh tokens on unauthorized response from server (#274)
• Add is_errored property to Auth class (#275)

blinkpy-0.16.0-rc1

• Increase minimum API timeout from 2s to 5s (#269)
• Handle JSONDecodeError when validating response
  • catches cases where temporary account lockout causes a response to be empty when it is expected to be json formatted (#268)
• Update string formatting (#265)
• Bump flake8 to 3.8.2 #263
• Bump pytest-cov to 2.9.0 #262

blinkpy-0.16.0-rc0

!!! Major Authentication Flow Update !!!

Breaking Changes:

• The Blink() object no longer handles any of the authorization or login process. This is now handled entirely with the new blinkpy.auth.Auth() class (which replaces and enhances the previous LoginHandler class introduced in 0.15.0). Usage is covered in the Quick Start guide in the README.

• Forcing a refresh is now done by calling the Blink.refresh() method with force=True instead of force_cache=True.

Important changes:

Token-based communication is now supported. What this means is that tokens from previous sessions can be saved and re-loaded in a subsequent session which completely eliminates the need to login. If, for some reason, the token were to expire during a session, the token will automatically be refreshed.

In order to aid in the transition to this authentication flow, the Blink.save() method was introduced to save all the important credentials to a json formatted file. This file can then be re-loaded as the input to the Auth class. Basic usage of this is covered in the Quick Start guide in the README.

All changes:

• Completely refactored authentication flow
• Mark platforms as unavailable on a failed request
• Update to correct 2FA endpoint
• Update unit tests
• Upgrade flake8 to 3.8.1
• Upgrade pytest to 5.4.2
• Add commit hooks (flake8 and black)
