I have made some progression over the last few days but would like to follow up on some examples.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Blynk.cc is the old Blynk Legacy site, and is now decommissioned.

The best place to look for Blynk examples are either the Sketch Builder (link at the top of this page) or the examples installed when you installed the library. In the Arduino IDE these are accessed via File > Examples > Blynk

In you previous post you were using a Wemos D1 Mini, so a link to an example for an Arduino board using an ESP8266 as a WiFi shield (which is a rather prehistoric hardware solution for an IoT system) would be of no value.

I’ve noticed a tend in your posts - to provide the absolute minimum of information.
You’d be far better to share more information about the broader picture of what you are trying to achieve and why, you’ll get far more useful assistance that way.

Thank you

No problem.
If you are using the Wemos D1 Mini or D1 Mini Pro (my favourite boards for most simple applications) then you might want to read this…

Which board should I choose for my first Blynk project?

I thought I’d write a piece about my thoughts on the best hardware to use for your IoT projects if you’re just starting-out with Blynk. I did what many people do, started-off buying an Arduino Uno and uploaded some code to make it flash an LED. After about 10 seconds of watching the LED flash I was bored, and wanted to do more (I have a short attention span ). The next task was getting the Uno connected to the internet and I chose the Ethernet Shield route. After around 6 months of m…

And if you’re trying to use them with Edgent then you should probably read this too…

Troubleshooting Edgent Dynamic Provisioning Problems

There seems to quite a bit of confusion about how the dynamic provisioning process works in the Edgent sketch examples, and how to re-provision a device with new WiFi credentials. Many people omit to configure the board type correctly in the sketch, and this also causes problems. Here’s a guide to how the process works, and the things to watch out for… Overview You start by creating a template, preferably in the web console (https://blynk.cloud/) This gives you the BLYNK_TEMPLATE_ID and BLYNK…

If the D1 Mini doesn’t have enough useable pins then I’d reccomend going to the ESP32 rather than an Uno or Mega based solution.
