Hey guys, I’m using a d1 mini pro (esp8266) for a work project. It mesure the current with a sensor and write it down pin V0 trough a0. On my own wifi the connection is stable : Wifi connect, connect to blynk, send datas… When we try to set it up at work : Wifi connect, connect to blynk, send datas for 3-7 scd, wifi still connected but on the serial monitor it says connecting to ipadressofblynkserver:xxxx for an infinite amount of time. I’ve checked the bandwith it’s 2.4ghz so the wifi seems ok but I don’t understand why the connection with the server drops

timer.run(); // enclenche le timer.setInterval, qui tout les "xL" active la fonction sendSensor
}
Also sometimes I get heartbeat timeout before getting disconnected, but the only thing that changes is the wifi, the material remain the same … Could it be a firewall problem, does the esp8266 ping on google DNS or something ? I also tried the WiFi.setSleepMode(WIFI_NONE_SLEEP) in the setup but it didn’t change a thing!
Am I flooding the server ? I thought my timer was ok, maybe I should use “Blynk.virtualWrite(V0, millis() / 1000);” ?
NO. Blynk apps for iOS and Androidcan’t be used commercially .
Blynk takes automated measures to track and detect such activity. Any account that is suspected for commercial use can be deactivated immediately without a prior notice. We provide no warranty and no liability for any losses caused by stopping of your account and associated business or commercial use.
To use Blynk commercially, you need an active subscription to any plan listed on this page.
Are you taking your Blynk local server to work with you, and attaching it to the work network at the same IP address as it has at home?
If not, then this won’t be able to resolve your Blynk server.
If you’re using a DDNS service and replacing 192.168.1.31 with your home server’s IP address then you’re introducing many more variables - such as potential port forwarding issues - into the equation.
I think you need to explain more about the local server setup at work scenario before we can provide any more clarity.
Thank you Pete! It’s for my “memoire’” as I need to make a PoC I guess I can setup a hotspot with my phone to make the demonstration
For the local server, the IT guy set up a local server running on a computer, I was giving accès to the ssid and the password to use it in my code. I don’t think the network differs much from a house network, but there’s a firewall for outgoing and incoming transmission
I still don’t understand the home/work setup as far as accessing the local server(s) is concerned.
When you test at home, are you using the same local server as when you test at work?
If so, how does the 192.168.1.31 on your home network resolve to the machine on your work network?
It sounds like some of the traffic between the Wemos and the server is being blocked. By default the Wemos will do a ping to the server every 10 seconds, and this may not be getting through.
You could try increasing the Blynk timeout to a higher number to see if it takes longer before it disconnects.
I guess I can setup a hotspot with my phone to make the demonstration
