core: Errors in log since adding Blink Video Doorbell

The problem

Yesterday I added a Blink Video Doorbell to my existing Blink installation (Sync Module 2, Blink XT2, Blink Outdoor).

I know that the Blink Video Doorbell is not supported, but shouldn’t it at least work as a camera? I can’t see any picture (not even a still picture) and the sensors are ‘dead’.

But the worst thing is, that my log is flooded with errors and warnings even with a disabled device. My other Blink cams work as expected.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2022.6.4

Excellent! I’ll try and get that PR rolling today to update the library in HA unless someone else beats me to it

Is there a way to manually update HA with the v0.19.1 release?

Yes - you can manually update the blink integration manifest.json to use version 0.19.1 and restart HA

In my case I use the HA docker image so I edited

/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/blink/manifest.json and made the change

bash-5.1# cat manifest.json 
{
  "domain": "blink",
  "name": "Blink",
  "documentation": "https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/blink",
  "requirements": ["blinkpy==0.19.1"],
  "codeowners": ["@fronzbot"],
  "dhcp": [
...

After restarting HA you can verify it has taken effect by

bash-5.1# pip3 list | grep blinkpy
blinkpy                          0.19.1
bash-5.1#

Do be aware though that if you subsequently upgrade HA to a later version your change here will be undone - either repeat this process or hold off upgrading HA until the blink integration has been updated

I believe this is the same issue I was seeing and should be addressed in https://github.com/fronzbot/blinkpy/releases/tag/v0.19.1
