ESP32 BLE Supported?

[hello]

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to find out whether the Blynk iOS app can be configured to work with a ESP32 in BLE mode or whether this is still in development.

Thanks

Still beta I believe, so expect the unexpected

Esp32 ble is in developnent by Espressif - so we don’t support it yet.

[hello]

Thanks! Is there a particular BLE device Blynk is best optimized to work with currently?

We recommend HM-10 BLE module (e.g. Arduino + HM-10 setup).
Arduino 101 BLE won’t work until Intel fixes the bug (it’s confirmed by Intel).
And the nrf8001 BLE module probably won’t work at the moment (a known issue).

[BETA] ESP32 BLE initial support

The ESP32 board is a really promising, amazing piece of hardware! I’ve just added some initial ESP32 BLE support: https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/blob/master/examples/Boards_Bluetooth/ESP32_BLE/ESP32_BLE.ino You can try it out and leave your feedback here. Currently, it’s a bit tricky to get connected, but once it connects, seems to be working really reliably. Important notes You need latest ESP32 Core with BLE library included. Here’s a hint on how to get it. Blynk App can…
