Error = 'Blynk' does not name a type; did you mean 'Blynk_h'?

i get the upper error in the title this is my code

librarries are good included everything but this error has been occuring

Your code is a mess! Where did you find it?

Pete.

google bard AI helped me to write it

Google is not your friend :scream:

so be my friend and help me

First, use :

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

Instead of blynk.h

Clean your void loop, you’d better use blynk timers and delete delay(2000);

Okay, that doesn’t surprise me.

You should look at the examples provided with the Blynk library for your device to see how to properly structure the code.
