New nodemcu keeps "Connecting to cloud.blynk.cc:8442"

@Gunner ,
Try Droid4x, it works like a charm with Blynk
Have a look:

Thanks, I will give that a try.

I was installing something called Andy, but it is giving my anti-malware a workout with all the webpages and chrome extensions it is trying to install… I am terminating this one :gun:

Well that works just great!! Thanks for the referral to Droid4x.

Now I don’t have to keep dragging out my phone or tablet for quick tests or checkups.

Even the video works :smiley:

And now I have two instances running all the time, one for Cloud, one for Local (no more login/password hassles… when at the workbench at least)… keeps my phone and tablet free for other uses when I am home.

I didn’t know video was available in Droid4X. Will give it a go as I recently managed to expose my “Tenvis” to the internet without port forwarding on the router. Works fine in the Blynk VLC app.

Edit: are you using the VLC or regular Blynk version for the video?

WAN video streaming, without router port forwarding, to Droid4X with Blynk’s VLC enhanced app confirmed as working.

When I have time to set up the camera to include the air con and TV in the shot I’ll hopefully knock up a video.

Definitely the VLC method :wink:
