This is regarding the examples in
Blynk_library/examples/More/DirectConnect/
ESP8266_Station
ESP8266_AccessPoint
I really want to use this function because I have an LED strip I want to control and I’m not always around WiFi (even when I am, the latency is pretty bad sometimes with poor internet connection). Connecting directly from Blynk App to ESP8266 without a server would save me a lot of trouble. (And I’m sure plenty others are waiting for this too)
Yes, I’ve set up a local server, but I can’t always keep it online as it is not my computer.
What is the status of this functionality, is there a tutorial I can follow? I’ve tried the sketch as is and it connects to WiFi and is stuck on “Connecting …” to the Blynk app. I guess the app is not yet set up for it?
I’ve enabled #define BLYNK_DEBUG
