First off this project was created using other peoples ideas, assistance and code:
What this project does is allows one to use Blynk to remote control wireless plugs & allow a single plug to turn on if off by checking to see if it’s connected to the blynk server. I am using this to reboot my router.
How to pair the plugs - get the plug light flashing ready for pairing and just toggle the button in blynk you want to assign the plug.
This is a modification of the project done by bitluni 2016 - http://youtube.com/bitlunislab
Project YouTube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_cgfj6SiTY
this allows 433.92MHZ RF plugs to be oporated by Blynk and ESP8266
biluni decoded the ON / OFF bytes and without his help this would not have been possible
Thank you to Costas for the Checkserver Blynk Code [SOLVED] How to run Blynk.run() only when WiFi connection is established - #4 by FebryKN
Please if you use this code and or project include the above people as mentioned without their support and knowledge this would not be possible
