How to connect Blink Outdoor to Apple HomeKit

Workaround required

The Blink Outdoor is a wire-free 1080p weatherproof camera running on two AA batteries with up to two years of battery life. It connects over Wi-Fi and requires a Sync Module 2 for local storage or cloud clip saving. Ideal for monitoring entry points without running cables.

The verdict

Blink Outdoor does not have native support for Apple HomeKit, but you can still integrate it using a bridge or workaround.

How to fix it

Blink Outdoor works with HomeKit via HomeBridge and Blink plugin.

Note: This device works best when paired with a compatible hub or bridge.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1
