Adding URL

Hi, I am doing a home automation project with esp8266. I have my lighting control working 100% with Blynk buttons. I am now trying to add via URL button Tunein music url but it keeps coming up url or website error? Some url’s work for 5 seconds than goes off. If anyone has done does and can point me in the right direction will be appreciated.

Can you clarify what it is you are trying to do.

I have 4 buttons on app which I switch on/off lights with via relay, this works fine. Than a 5th “Link Button” where I have in it added a URL for Tunein Radio music site so when I click on this Link button it takes me to the Tunein site but than after few seconds it comes with “net :ERR_UNKNOWN_URL…”

Sorry if this is in the wrong post am first time here and finding my way around.

I think you’ll find that if you go to Tunein radio via a web browser, you’ll have various pop-up and redirects occurring.
My guess is that the Webpage button widget doesn’t like these re-directs.

Pete.

Sounds like you are entering the wrong URL :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: or perhaps that website is expecting a full browser, not a Blynk Widget… which is more of a limited browsing option for viewing basic web pages.

If you wish us to test, then please post the exact URL you are trying.

The url is https://tunein.com/radio/home. I was hoping to create a home automation application using Blynk to control lights/Temperature, go to music/radio site with a click of a button. I just did google search on this error and see that it i not possible to do via Blink url button.

Thanks for prompt response…

Yes correct. Thanks for help will have to find another way to resolve this.
