+1. Exactly the same issue.

+1. I have the same issue as well. I posted the error log over in the HA forum earlier today. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/blink-integration-stopped-working-and-cant-login/210490

Hey there @fronzbot, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with an integration (blink) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

Yeah many users are reporting this, I'm experiencing it as well. Users of other third-party libraries seem to be having the same problem. Blink may have finally given us the ol' stanky boot.

I've got a couple ideas as a workaround that I'd like to try in the next couple of days.

This may be related to the latest HA upgrade and not to blink. I personally haven’t tried to downgrade to 0.111 but this issue started with 0.112.

Same issue, stopped working on July 10, 11:00am est

[fronzbot]

Ok, so good news. Logging in works fine, just seems like they moved endpoints around. Need to pin down exactly what broke and what alternatives there are but it looks fixable.

+1 same error

thanks for the effort and appreciate the good work!

[DeepfatDad]

Same here - keep up the great work.

[scacace]

Same issue, attempts to use the legacy configuration.yaml settings do not make any difference. All ends at the credential submission. with the python3.7 errors as others.

[diazdeespada]

Has anyone been able to fix the problem? Thanks

[fronzbot]

As shown in the linked pull request above your comments (and the fact that this issue has been closed), this issue has already been fixed and is in both 0.112.5 and the 0.113 beta. 0.112.5 had a build problem and so is only available on home-assistant core installations so if you do NOT have that, you have to upgrade to the 0.113 beta or wait for the 0.113.0 release.

[diazdeespada]

Thanks @fronzbot

Upgraded to Home Assistant 112.5 today and added the integration (which i deleted upfront). Now everything is working well again! Even the old entities are available again, did not have to reconfigure anything...
