Blynk local server on RPI

Need Help With My Project

This might sound stupid, but is it possible to get both the client and local server running on the same RPI?

Hello. Yes. Why not =)?

@Dmitriy, when I try to connect to the server running on pi from mobile app, it successfully connects (login). But when I try to setup a RPI device and use the RPI ID from the app on pi like blynk.js ID, it’s trying to connect to the cloud Blynk server and gets terminated abruptly. What am I doing wrong?

Did you change javascript sketch to connect to local server?

I didn’t change any files. You mean the blynk.js file? What & where should I include to point to my local server?

I have it set up like so:

bastiaan@legotrainz:/usr/local/bin $ cat blynk.js
#!/usr/bin/env node

var Blynk = require("../");

if (!process.argv[2]) {
  console.log("Please specify auth token.");
  process.exit(1);
}

var blynk = new Blynk.Blynk(process.argv[2], options= {addr : "192.168.0.53"});

blynk.on('connect', function() {
  console.log("Blynk ready.");
});
