Buttons not working when internet disconnected

Need Help With My Project
1

Hi All,
Congratulations on your work. and Dear When i use
Blynk WIFI Manager for ESP8266/ESP32 lib for the below mention sketch

all the project works well when both wifi and blynk(internet access) connected but as soon as internet access end or blynk server disconnect the manual switch stop working. like

(esp8266) Connected (Wifi) Connected (Blynk Cloud Server or internet) for this condition below sketch works well when both wifi+internet connected or both disconnected

but When when i turn off the internet access only like

(esp8266) Connected (Wifi) DIS Connected (Blynk Cloud Server or internet) in this condition

the manual switch (or Push Button) stop working

Plz guide me in this regards i want the push buttons to work done even when internet access is not available or when not connected to blynk server

I am very gratefull for the answer Thanks

Hi @Rizwan_Saeed

You’re posting in the wrong topic as your code has nothing to do with Blynk_WiFiManager library.

I suggest you ask @PeteKnight to move it to separate topic where many other users can help you out, certainly after you’ve done your basic research as this issue has been discussed and solved elsewhere in this forum.

Done!

Pete.

@Rizwan_Saeed Search nonblocking or Blynk.config and Blynk.connect on this forum.

I have built a home automation system, the lights can be turned on / off from the blynk app, but also from physical buttons in the rooms. when the arduino is connected to the network, everything works fine and reliable (I can control the lights from my phone and also with the physical buttons).

the problem is, when the Arduino is not connected to the network.

(for example When internet is not available or not connected to Blynk server), the system is not working at all, i can not use the physical buttons without internet. and want to use physical button when no internet access.

I have been trying to solve this for a long time but the issue is not getting resolved.
Below is the basic Automation code for Plz help me in this regards in your precious time.

I think your problem is that you are checking to see if your WiFi is connected, rather than if you have a connection to the Blynk server.
Most routers will continue to provide a WiFi network in your home, even if you disconnect the incoming internet connection.
As a result, your without_internet routine only runs when the router is turned off, as opposed to when the router loses its connection to the outside world.

Read the documentation about Blynk.connected() - not to be confused with Blynk.connect or BLYNK_CONNECTED

Hi sir,

Problem is physical button not work when internet unavailable during this time nodemcu constantly try to connect to blynk server , I just want physical button to work without internet and when internet services back then connected to blynk automatically.

I suffering same to same problem of esp8226 and node mcu but i don’t find any solution. plz help me.
