Motion detection not working for some regions

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug A home-assistant user is having issues with motion detection never triggering. See here. Perhaps this is a region problem (their region is prsg)

EDIT- Possible related to improper timezone handling??

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Manually trigger camera
  2. Motion detected in app
  3. Home-assistant does not display motion in front-end

Expected behavior Motion should be detected upon next blink refresh

Home Assistant version (if applicable): 0.91.1

I believe it worked. I did NOT go thru your “More Debug Steps” since ‘camera.motion_detected’ returned TRUE this time.

from blinkpy import blinkpy b = blinkpy.Blink() b.start() Username: Password: sync = b.sync[‘Home’] camera = sync.cameras[‘Front Porch’] sync.arm = True b.refresh() True sync.arm True b.refresh() True sync.motion {‘Back Porch’: False, ‘Front Porch’: True, ‘Driveway’: False, ‘Back Yard’: False} camera.motion_detected True

Waited a couple min this time. I didn’t know if the ‘Address:’ info is sensitive or not, so I cut that part out of the output file. Let me know if it’s relevant or if you need it. The rest of the output you requested is attached. And thank YOU for working on this. (I have several automations tied to my Blink motion sensors).
