Blink auth email returns |DEVICENAME|

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug With latest 0.15.0-rc versions, the device name returned by the blink servers is populated with |DEVICENAME| rather than the actual device name being send. We should double check we’re not sending bad data and causing that problem.

Expected behavior Should return the device_id parameter we initialize Blink with.

Home Assistant version (if applicable): <HA Version Number>

blinkpy version (not needed if filling out Home Assistant version): 0.15.0-rc1
