I also miss the Table widget, but you can use Events to achieve a similar result. Not as convenient to go into the timeline to see them, but certainly a workaround.
Only 95 days left to the big Legacy turn-off, so you’d better act soon!
Logging events is covered quite well in the Blynk IoT documentation, and it’s just a case of turning on the “send to timeline” option for the event you create. You can then see the info in the timeline.
You can use different events if you want a different entry type in the timeline ‘table’ so that they stand out better…
Hi, I’m just getting back to using Blynk. It looks like I missed the promo period but was hoping I still could get a code for the 50% off. Too bad the system just didn’t track who backed the project from the start (Kickstarter backer) and applied a discount when subscribing. On a side note, I did search my email and didn’t see one offering any discounts.
That’s what’s been happening for the last 3 years at least.
Now time to turn the Legacy servers off and save that cost, plus maybe encourage some people to migrate to Blynk IoT.
The Blynk Legacy platform support stopped - May 27, 2021
Legacy app closed for new user registration - September 5, 2021
In-app purchases deprecated - September 30, 2022
Legacy was in “bugfix only” mode since the 0.6.1 legacy version of the Legacy library was released in early 2019, as all development was focussing on Blynk IoT.
You could argue that as support for non-business users was always via the forum then support is ongoing, and will continue for Legacy local server users even after the end of the year.
However, I suspect that in this case the term “support” actually meant “development and additional feature requests” hence my comment.
Either way, it won’t really matter in 24 days time.
Node-Red and MQTT. Is a great solution, but the Node-Red dashboard is awful.
Personally, I’ve always used MQTT and Node-Red as my rules engine, with Blynk as my user interface. You should try it with a free Blynk IoT account.
