can i use bluetooth with blynk for example with the HC-05

Possibly in near future, but only for Android.

thank you for answering but is there a way that i can connect blynk to bluetooth

For now, lot’s of BLE boards are supported, but HC-05 is Bluetooth 2.0 not BLE 4.0.
Please see examples for the list of supported devices/

can you please give me an example of boards that are supported

As usual, the list of supported hardware is here: https://github.com/blynkkk/blynkkk.github.io/blob/master/SupportedHardware.md

here are the examples: https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/tree/master/examples/Boards_BLE

P.S. Please use search on the forum before asking questions like this…

you need internet connection in order to use Blynk . And you can’t do it with HC-05. but the good part is you can do with HC-06 witch costs 4-5 times much than HC-05. but you can try. it can be done.

@harshgp, what do you mean? I’m almost sure that what you’re saying is incorrect…

# Supported Hardware

Blynk supports more than 400 boards already, including support for Arduino, Particle, ARM mbed, TI Energia, MicroPython, Node.js, OpenWRT and many Single Board Computers. You can add your own connection types easily (see [these](https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/tree/master/examples/More/ArduinoClient) examples for Arduino)!

## Platforms

- **Arduino** (https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library)
  - Arduino MKR WiFi 1010
  - Arduino MKR GSM 1400
  - Arduino Uno, Duemilanove
  - Arduino Nano, Mini, Pro Mini, Pro Micro, Due, Mega
  - Arduino 101 (Intel Curie, with BLE)
  - Arduino MKR1000
  - Arduino Zero
  - Arduino Yún (onboard WiFi and Ethernet, via Bridge)
  - Arduino.org UNO WiFi
  - Arduino MKR VIDOR 4000 (use the example for MKR WiFi 1010)
  - Arduino UNO WiFi Rev.2 (use the example for MKR WiFi 1010)
  
- **Arduino-like**

Yeah, they need to get on that, I honestly can’t wait for the release because I can use bluetooth without issue. But trying to get a ESP8266 to work will kill me faster than cigarettes

you can use Blynk with BLE. only Bluetooth classic is not yet supported.

I am currently learning that I don’t know as much about bluetooth as I originally thought. My experience has been mostly with HC-06 modules. So, what is the difference between BLU and classic?
