Description:

Adds the ability to turn on the wired flood lights when the network is not busy. Tested and works with this model flood light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5VGZTXH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5

Ran a number tests with mtmweb this to see if I could determine how the Blink app is able to turn the flood light on/off while the camera is in use but could not see any rest call activity when toggling the light. This is the compromise right now. If the Blink network is idle, you can toggle the flood light on/off. My goal is to be able to control the flood lights via proximity/motion/light switch in Home Assistant so most of the time I would want to toggle the light on, the camera will not be in use.

Python is not my first language and I am not a super contributor so if there is anything I need to do to satisfy the merge requirements, let me know.

Checklist:

  • [ x] Local tests with tox run successfully PR cannot be meged unless tests pass
  • [ x] Changes tested locally to ensure platform still works as intended
  • [ x] Tests added to verify new code works
