Cannot arm/disarm Blink Mini Cameras

Describe the bug Currently no endpoint is implemented to individually arm/disarm blink mini cameras. It can only be done if the camera is added as a standalone device to the Blink app (akin to a Sync Module).

Expected behavior Ability to enable/disable motion detection for a Blink Mini camera attached to a Sync Module.

Home Assistant version: 0.114.0

blinkpy version: 0.16.x

Hi @fronzbot et al ,

Seems to work here. In api.py I added:

def minicam_arm(blink, network, camera_id, arm):
    """Send arm/disam to blink servers."""
    url = f"{blink.urls.base_url}/api/v1/accounts/{blink.account_id}/networks/{network}/owls/{camera_id}/config"
    data = dumps({"enabled": arm})
    return blink.auth.query(
        url=url, headers=blink.auth.header, data=data, json_resp=False, reqtype="post",
    )

in camera.py -> BlinkCameraMini -> arm I call: api.minicam_arm(self.sync.blink, self.network_id, self.camera_id, value)

In my main code sample:

camera = blink.cameras[‘Mini Cam’] camera.arm = False

And the camera shows disarmed in my phone app. Set camera.arm to True and it shows back to enabled in my phone app.

Perhaps it just me?

Cheers, DrJES

I can confirm this works as of today! I shall make a PR with these in.

If I can help I will - I have 2 minis and 5 XT2 cameras. I’d love to disable motion detection on the Mini’s inside when we’re at home. I have the arming and disarming working well based on location and the overnight arming too. Would just like to disable the motion detection on the internal cameras. Shout if you need someone to test.
