Good morning all-
This is more of a general best practice question, but I have 4 esp’s each connected to a temperature sensor… they each have their own auth token. I have them all set to send data via bridge to what’s essentially a 4 way on/off esp controlled switch that turns on if any of the esp’s request cooling and it turns off if 0/4 of my esp’s are requesting cooling. Is using Bridge the best/only way to achieve this?
I am doing something similar however I have all the ESP devices sharing an auth. From a number of Blynk projects standpoint, I like it. However, if one of the devices goes down I won’t be able to tell which one did (from the app).
Sounds like your best setup would be taking advantage of Multi Devices in the single Project.
Create a new device/auth code for each sensor and 1 for the “base” switch.
Here is an example dash you can take a look at.
@Jamin Interesting example… I see that I can display temps from multiple devices (each with their own auth code) on one dashboard, but what mechanism do I use, also within this dashboard to get my ‘switch’ esp to flip on and off (with some logic as I want it to switch ON if Any of the 4 sensors request, and to turn off only if none of them are requesting the switch… Would I still do this through bridge?
Yup use a Bridge to send a command to turn on the switch.
