Problem description:

I used Blynk Edgent on my project and have this output on my serial monitor:

Would appreciate any help!

Exactly which ESP8266 based board are you using?
What board type have you chosen in your Edgent sketch?
Have you changed the Settings.h file in any way?
Is the LED on your board flashing? if so, at what rate?
Have you tried pressing the Blynk reset button on your board (as defined in Settings.h) for 10 seconds?

Pete.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I am using Wemos d1 mini
didn’t specify which board I used in the code and just change two line of code in the Edgent_ESP8266 which is only the template id and template name.

You need to un-comment the line that says #define USE_WEMOS_D1_MINI and add a momentary push button switch between GND and GPIO0 (the pin labelled “D3”). This will be your Blynk reset button, which will clear the provisioning settings when pressed for 10 seconds.
The onboard LED should be blinking before you do the “+ Add Device” bit in the Blynk app.

Hello Sir Pete

I did the steps you mentioned earlier.
I didn’t find a button so I just improvised using jumper wires and I did a reset on the board
also uncommented #define USE_WEMOS_D1_MINI
Serial Output:
[190395] Hold the button for 10 seconds to reset configuration…
Resetting configuration!
[190403] Configuration stored to flash
[190407] RESET_CONFIG => WAIT_CONFIG
[191216] AP URL: blynk.setup

Then I also checked the LED before pressing the “+ Add Device” and I noticed that it is blinking. But still won’t show on my mobile app.

Do you have a different mobile device to test with, or maybe try restarting your phone.

Pete.

I restarted my android and still won’t detect the device, but I tried testing with iPhone and it connected successfully.
