No connection to cameras // Homebridge

[Garrelmann]

Hi, I just installed HomeBridge and the plug-in but I always got the error “no connection”:

I checked several times all data and these are correct. What can I do?

Hello,

I have a similar issue when adding the Blink bridge to my Apple Homekit; there is no camara detected. When I turned on the verbose logs, I saw the followoing:

Tried older versions and it seems like 3.7.6 and 3.9.1 (3.9.0 not tested) do the Job. I can activate motion detection by e.g. absence or opening windows. I am happy now.
