So I got Blynk to work, but after the last few updates and additions to my code the blynk dashboard app is no longer working, it consistently gives me “photon is not connected to network” on my android app.
Android app is updated to latest version, and am using blynk cloud.
If anyone could point out any glaring errors or something somehow blocking threads etc. I would be much obliged.
Hardware is an adafruit BME280 board, using the CE_280 library because it worked, and I am reusing someone’s code.
The dashboard ran for about 30 days fairly reliably.

The reason I am doing the particle publish, is the data is also being displayed on Neopixel Led Ring’s on seperate Photon’s.
