Because I am not a programmer and I have a limited knowledge about MQTT and Node-Red today I must say learning MQTT is a must . (MQTT 5 is coming soon)
I also found many interesting topics in this forum that was not easy for me to understand in the past.
Blynk - MQTT Bridge - Use Blynk app for non-Blynk devices
Well, not all my devices run on Blynk. Most run on Tasmota or other software I developed. Also particularly Tasmota leaves no memory to include Blynk library on an ESP8266.
My wife likes the ease of use of the Blynk App despite its old fashioned design (I will suggest to the developer team to create some different and more exciting skins).
To combine the two requirements I run a Wemos D1 mini board to run Blynk for my non-Blynk devices. It communicates with the controlled devices through MQTT. Now I can power on or dim a light or change the scheme etc. with the Blynk GUI.
At the same time I can still operate these devices with Domoticz and other means.
we can achieve same result to read Energy consumption from S31 using this technique.
