[BlynkGsmManager] - Cannot send sensor value to blynk while connected to GPRS

I use the SHT30 sensor to measure the temperature and humidity but having trouble connecting to the GPRS, the ESP does not send value to Blynk. Wifi is stable.

The problem is is your loop().

Please do some more research how to keep your loop() clean

Test with the simple code (using Blynk GSM example) to make sure it’s working, before merging into more complicated BlynkGSM_Manager example

You can modify the code as follows and test to see if it’s OK

#include "defines.h"
#include "Credentials.h"
#include "dynamicParams.h"

#include <SHT3x.h>        //https://github.com/Risele/SHT3x

Thank you for your help, it still doesn’t send value to blynk

It seems you don’t have WiFi connected, only GSM. But it’s still OK as you already have your SHT3x sensor connected correctly.

Change the SensorUpdate() function to

void SensorUpdate()
{
  static float temperature;
  static float rHumidity;

  Sensor.UpdateData();

  temperature = Sensor.GetTemperature();
  rHumidity   = Sensor.GetRelHumidity();

  if (!isnan(temperature) && !isnan(rHumidity))
  {
    if (Blynk_GSM.connected())
    {
      Blynk_GSM.virtualWrite(V1, String(temperature, 1));
      Blynk_GSM.virtualWrite(V2, String(rHumidity, 1));
    }
    
    if (Blynk_WF.connected())
    {
      Blynk_WF.virtualWrite(V1, String(temperature, 1));
      Blynk_WF.virtualWrite(V2, String(rHumidity, 1));
    }
    
    Serial.println("Temperature   = " + String(temperature, 1));
    Serial.println("Rel. Humidity = " + String(rHumidity, 1));
  }
  else
  {
    if (Blynk_GSM.connected())
    {
      Blynk_GSM.virtualWrite(V1, "NAN");
      Blynk_GSM.virtualWrite(V2, "NAN");
    }

    if (Blynk_WF.connected())
    {
      Blynk_WF.virtualWrite(V1, "NAN");
      Blynk_WF.virtualWrite(V2, "NAN");
    }
  }
}

Thanking you. Try me again tonight. :smile_face_with_three_ Feelts:

I am having problems with my pzem module. It seems that T-CALL has used up the Serial on the hardware of T-CALL. How can i connect my PZEM to T-CALL.
