2FA support
If you have 2FA enabled, you will need to first set the username / password to force the system to attempt to login. On first attempt it will trigger the email validation. With the PIN provided from the 2FA email, update the pin field to proceed. The pin is only needed once per account.
NB: The Device in the email 2FA will appear to be an iPad Mini. This is intentional to increase masquerading.

Accessories
Two main accessory types will be present: Security System and Camera accessories.
Security System Accessories
one Security System accessory per location (aka Network)
Blink will be armed when the system is set to any of Home, Away or Night and disarmed when set to Off
The specific state of Home/Away/Night is preserved but is only useful for automation scripts (eg: turn off all cameras but entrance camera when set to Night)
Camera Accessories
each Camera supports a number of sub accessories including temperature, motion sensor, motion tracking (when armed), and a privacy switch
privacy mode prevents the perception that when the system is disarmed that people can be snooping. This is particularly important since even a stale thumbnail can give household members that feeling that the camera is active when its not.
cameras can be disabled individually when the system is armed with the Motion Activated switch
