Looks like there was a post-upgrade state issue. Went into the Home app and turned off and then rearmed. Errors disappeared.
I’m still seeing this after rebooting everything, arming and disarming. Seems to occur any time when motion is detected
Seeing this now instead:

Can you share which configuration you have set?
Homebridge 1.3.1 (oznu/homebridge) { "name": "Blink", "username": "[email protected]", "password": “password”, "pin": 123456, "enable-liveview": false, "avoid-thumbnail-battery-drain": true, "camera-thumbnail-refresh-seconds": 3600, "enable-verbose-logging": false, "enable-debug-logging": false, "enable-startup-diagnostic": false, "platform": "Blink" }
Today my logs are flooded with the Temperature characteristic.

Is it possible the Blink API doesn't always return a full set of values? Yesterday the warning vanished, and came back in the evening. Is that possible? Currently we have low temperatures at night but quite warm during the day, so I was thinking it might be connected to the temperature ranges that can be defined within the Blink app (where for me 4°C is the minimum). So maybe that causes some failed API calls once temps drop below that?
[3/2/2021, 9:41:10 AM] [homebridge-blink-for-home] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Current Temperature': characteristic was supplied illegal value: **null!** Home App will reject null for Apple defined characteristics. See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.
One more thing I just found out: the characteristic warning 'Current Temperature' in the HB logs goes away once you open the Blink app and open each camera's detail settings (where most likely a temperature refresh is pulled).
Will keep an eye on it if I can reproduce once the warning comes up again.
These starting popping today for me:

The warning 'Current Temperature' appeared again tonight. Not 100% sure, but seems once temperature falls below a certain value it gets missing. Once it's missing from the API (?) the Blink for Home plugin writes Null, though sending it to HomeKit and causing the warning.
Maybe just keep the old value if there is no correct answer from the Blink API?

I get this failure...
I've added a new check to ensure that this value is in range. I'll add it to the next release
There was an unfortunate network recovery bug that caused another failure when trying to recover from a network connection failure. It was fixed in 3.7.2
Both items remain after 3.7.2 for me

Ah. I see the problem now. This is the result of motion detection which isn't valid in the TargetState characteristic. Should be a simple fix.
For me, any motion when armed will trigger an event on the Homekit Alarm system instead of the motion detector. Each team a motion is detected I receive a notification saying that the system was armed for away. And I also see this same warning.

Hi @colinbendell will you fix these Characteristic errors regarding Temperature and so on in the plugin? We had a cold night and day today and my logs are full of those messages. Thanks in advance!
I’m seeing the same problem and it seems to start when the outside temperature drops below a certain value,
For me it's every time a motion is triggered, it seems that there is a few characteristic with illegal values.
