Thanking you very much SID, you did a great job for those who had already paid for their widgets

[@moeburn]

and THANK YOU SIR for everything you have done! Especially cloning the blynk server github repository, since Blynk took it down! It all works! I'm viewing my raspberry pi server on my phone right now! Thank you so much!

[@JohnOstroot]

Nice, I will give it a try, thanks. Good work.

[@PeteDubler]

Very well done. The best blynk install video I have seen.. Thanks especially for the install script. Still not sure how to get into the admin console from my browser on my PC. Can only get into my user account.

[@babajivideo]

great work

Hi, i'm not familiar with Raspberry world, only arduino/esp, can i use a Raspberry W instead of Raspberry Pi Pico Zero W? Or is not enough powerfull? Raspberry boards are very expensive today :(

[@rafaeldalzotto9851]

Maybe we can modify the source code to be able to add new users directly from the dashboard?

[@PeteDubler]

Odd... after a few months of running this, it now no longer starts at system boot. I can start it manually but every method I try to start it at reboot fails. (rc.local, systemctl, crontab) Is it possible there was a change in Java through an update that broke it? Any ideas and how to fix this?

[@cyberelectronics]

Hi Sid. This version looks like can not be installed, on newer Android versions (or security patches). Only the newer 2.27.33 version can be installed, but there is no Sign Up button, to create a new account for local server. The default admin login credentials still can be used and the Auth token is visible on the local server Admin page (Users).

[@cyberelectronics]

To create New Accounts, we need 2.27.24 and the latest version which supports custom servers is 2.27.33

[@srikumarc]

Thanks sid. I am concerned that Blynk may stop legacy services.I have made some blynk apps which are in use. I do not have any experience with raspberry pi. Do you have any videos which will help me set up the pi hardware and software which should precede making use of this particular video? Another question, should the server and blynk devices be on the same wifi network for it to function ? thanks in advance.

[@garethshanks8290]

I run my blynk server externally! Have you managed to make your own server yet?

[@Mazut1988]

I Just encountered that Blynk has stopped working and all my projects went to /dev/null.. :( Mate, you're just saved my ass. Thank you!

Hi Sid, My Phone and local blynk server is on same network, even I am getting this error "unable to send email, please check your network connections". Please help

Simple and clean tutorial. Great. Can we host this server on docker which running on RPi4?

[@SidsEClassroom]

Not tested yet.

Hi! I got the problem. I've done everything exacly the same as you did and my project doesn't work on app. There is notification: "(Project name) Wasn't online yet". Please help me :c

Who is that man in the black and white picture on your screen background?

[@stefanogiannini4508]

I have a problem: the server is on, with the .bat file the server restart automatically and everything is allright (i can access to admin page etc), the sketch is working, but after a certain period of time the blynk app disconnects and says ''user is not registered'', what's the problem? My data are in a folder and i can see the backuo and deleted folder, the admin and the user txt file genereted (my server is on windows machine)

[@SidsEClassroom]

Check if the ip of your system changed.

[@learningintelligence2446]

I have created a local blynk server but I am unable to connect to the nodemcu using the blynk app, it says devices offline, I have used the Auth send to the email along with the IPAddress change on the arduino code

[@SidsEClassroom]

Check my other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4ebeJZ6nbiKrtk I have explained the correct method.

What do I enter in "Enter the Certificates password once again to be added to the server.properties file" fileds ? Can we port forward the blynk server using ngrok ?

[@SidsEClassroom]

Its should be the same password that you just entered for creating the certificates. Yes you can use Ngrok

[@xr4nchy]

@@SidsEClassroom when I use the ngrok url in the app and create new user it says "Sorry, app could not initialize connection to the server"

[@SidsEClassroom]

@@xr4nchy Double check the port assigned to Ngrok. See if Blynk server is running. See if Ngrok is also running. Use the Ngrok url and see if you can access the admin pannel.

[@JeffreyGroberman]

I'm having a problem. I have corrected the error removing the extra "#" in the program as directed. However when I rerun the program, I STILL get an error on that line of the program. If I try and run the program and connect to the server I get a message that it cannot connect to the server or that the computer has rejected the request. I suspect that's because of the program error. Any suggestions?

[@SidsEClassroom]

Program is clean. Check if Pi and the other device are running on the same network. One cannot be in 2.4G and other in 5G network.

[@JeffreyGroberman]

@@SidsEClassroom Thought of that already. One thing that has occurred. Do I have to have java pre installed on the raspberry pi?

@@SidsEClassroom okay, any idea why I'm still seeing an error on that line of code?

[@JohnOstroot]

It looks like you download legacy Blynk app is just for android. And iOS downloads available?

[@SidsEClassroom]

There is no source for downloading Apple apps unfortunately.

what's wrong with new app, what changed? Why do this procedure?

[@SidsEClassroom]

You need to pay now for Blynk services.

pls!! which library version of blynk we can use ??
