Notes:

Blink seems to have changed their APIs and thus this module would stop working. Please hold on as I'm trying to solve.

Developer Notes

This module broadcasts a BLINK_MOTION_VIDEO notification whenever a new motion video is detected, with the payload of the creation date and time of the video. You could use it to perform various actions, for example- to play a sound.

This module listens to the USER_PRESENCE notification.
