About this Applet
Track motion events automatically by connecting your Blink camera with your Adafruit feed. This Applet runs whenever your Blink camera detects new motion and sends the camera name or event data to your Adafruit IO feed. Ideal for monitoring activity across smart cameras and integrating motion data with Adafruit dashboards.
