I’m getting the same issue
COMMUNICATION_ERROR
Blink API Call unsuccessful <Status 403>
I can access the http://openhabian:8080/settings/things/blink:account:3797dc92ee to enter a pin, but blink is not sending me the pin.
Would anyone have some advice? Thanks
I still have the same problem… No chance to connect
@digitalgeek.me did you find a solution?
Unfortunately not 
Had another go, still can’t get blink to send me the code, so stuck. Does anyone have any ideas what to try next?
If I try curl I get the response {“message”:“An app update is required”}
curl -X POST "https://rest-u008.immedia-semi.com/api/v4/account/login" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "User-Agent: Blink/6.5.0 (iPhone; iOS 16.3; Scale/2.00)" \
-d '{"email": "johnsmith@gmail.com"}'
If I just enter a random code on the /blink/myBlinkAccount page I get the following error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Trying to do 2FA without a login

I recently updated to version 4.3.4 in the hope that I could finally get the Blink binding to work, but it still won’t send me the 2FA PIN.
I have tried adding the account both via the UI and using a things file with the following configuration:
Bridge blink:account:myBlinkAccount "Blink Account" [
email="MYEMAIL",
password="MYPASSWORD",
pollingInterval=120 // Check Blink status every 120 seconds
] { }
The username and password are the same ones I use in the Blink app.
Has anyone managed to get this working recently? If so, could you outline the steps? I must be missing something, or perhaps no one is using this binding anymore!
It’s been incredibly frustrating how long I’ve been trying to get this to work.
Here are the most recent logs:

Hi, yes im using it 
Just checking that you have not got the binding from the addon store installed? It needs to be the manually added jar file.
I still can‘t use it as well.
Installed manually, not via store and can’t get the PIN
THANK YOU !
I’m pleased to say it’s now working. I did have both the jar and the addon store version installed. But I guess it was using the addon store version as that was a later version.
I removed both versions that added the jar, then I got the text message from blink to complete the 2fa pin.
Here are my files that are working, in case they may be of use to others. I can’t get my doorbell camera working, but the other 2 are fine and I can now alarm the system from openhab!
