Blink recently introduced video doorbells. After installation of hardware and activation on my existing Blink local system, the Video Doorbell does not appear in Home Assistant. No errors were logged by the home assistant integration.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install video doorbell hardware.
- Follow instruction in Blink Home Monitor to add to existing setup.
- Once added, reload and re-install Blink Integration in Home Assistant.
- Other Blink cameras appear normally (including Mini) but Video doorbell is not recognized at all.
Expected behavior Would expect the video doorbell to appear with functionality similar to other Blink cameras.
Home Assistant version (if applicable): 2021.10.6
