Hi everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart cameras and automations lately, and I wanted to share some of my experiences and questions with you all. 
First off, I’ve been trying to integrate my Blink Floodlight 4 cameras with Home Assistant. They’re fantastic for outdoor security, but I’ve noticed that the Blink app doesn’t allow manual control of the lights anymore. Does anyone else have the same issue? I can still control them via Alexa, but it would be great to have that functionality directly in the Blink app. Any workarounds or insights would be appreciated! 
On another note, I’ve been exploring the use of a Z-Wave siren and speaker for notifications. I came across the ZOOZ Z-Wave Plus Indoor Siren and the Aeon Labs Siren, but I’m not sure if they can handle both alarm notifications and voice alerts like “Front door opened.” Has anyone had success with these devices for dual purposes? I’d love to hear your setups and experiences! 
Lastly, I’ve been experimenting with automations involving my smart thermostat and cameras. For instance, I’d love to set up a routine where the thermostat adjusts based on motion detected by my cameras. However, I’m not entirely sure how to structure the triggers and actions in Home Assistant for this kind of cascading automation. Any tips or tutorials you could point me to would be fantastic! 
I’m really enjoying the journey of integrating all these smart devices, but it’s definitely a learning curve. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences! Thanks for being such an amazing community.
