Any way to autogenerate datastreams for virtual pins?

iot_user · July 22, 2021, 10:04pm

I previously used Blynk in an IoT class I teach, and I’m still making the transition to the new platform.

In the old system, it was possible to use the mobile app to connect widgets to predefined virtual pins. Though I used the Particle Argon which didn’t have a predefined option, the Other or Particle Photon typically worked fine.

However, it seems in the new system I need to log into the web console first, create datastreams for the virtual pins I intend to use, and THEN I can access them in the mobile app. Since I’m trying to simplify this process for my students, I’m wondering if there is any simpler way to approach this.

Thanks!

Hello. Yes, that’s in our TODO list. Stay tuned.

That’s great news, @Dmitriy ! Thanks for letting me know

Since I’m planning for class, would you anticipate this being available in a month or so, or more like within 6-12 months?

more like 3-9 months
