Blink Integration Stopped Working after Core update

The problem

Since this weeks new core update, the Blink integration has stopped working.

This is my log:

This looks like it had an error logging in to Blink and retrieving the camera data. It probably should handle this a bit better.
Did you try reloading the integration or restarting HA?

[JShoota]

Exact same issue here.

I removed the integration and re-added it. It accepts my username and pw, but did not ask for the 2FA code. I went into the Blink app and removed Home Assistant as a device, removed and added again and this time it prompted for 2FA. Unfortunately, still receiving the error as detailed above.

Happy to help with troubleshooting.

[mkmer]

Darn, I put the diagnostic stuff in, but it's not merged yet.
I've been running it for months as a custom, and it's been stable. I'll have to try the dev environment and see if it breaks.

Please verify the latest library is loaded, maybe something happened there.

I have the same issued, reloading the addon does not fix anything

Same issue here since today after installing latest HA update

[mkmer]

Anyone capable of trying this change out for me? It requires a bit of hacking in the installed library... but it is small
https://github.com/fronzbot/blinkpy/pull/800/files
It's unfortunate that it's not concurring with my configuration at home - I'll need some help to get to the bottom of it.

[mercurystorm]

If i knew where to find this file to edit.. i would happily try!

[mercurystorm]

Ok i found it the homeassistant docker container in
/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/blinkpy/camera.py

and it has resolved the issue!

[chriselsen]

Same here: Changing the above file resolved the issue for me.

[mkmer]

Thanks guys! As soon as @fronzbot can release the fix, we will bump the version in HA. Should be an upcoming point release (soon).

[mkmer]

One more question: Do you guys have sync modules on your account?

[francescodoffizi]

One more question: Do you guys have sync modules on your account?

No I don't have the sync module

[JShoota]

Yes, I have the sync module.

[mercurystorm]

I do not have a sync module

[mkmer]

Thanks. I was hoping everyone did not have sync modules. I think we have a fix coming soon base on the tests others have done for us.
