@UtaMask are you up and running with the WiFi shield for Arduino Uno’s?
Think there are some posts on here from other Blynkers that are using them.
You should pick Generic ESP8266 board from available list. The chip should be 4M so you can pick 4M with 1M or 3M SPIFFS for the flash, not the default 512K (64K SPIFFS). Default reset of ck should be fine.
WeMos are good (and no I don’t have shares in their business either).
They have their own entry in the board selector and it will default to 4M and correct reset (or it does for the WeMos Mini’s which is the same board selection in the IDE). You can pick 1M or 3M SPIFFS and 3 is probably best as you can’t use the 2 to 4M for anything else (first 1M is your programmable memory for the IDE).
Yes but they had a R1 that didn’t last long and then an R2. Pins are slightly different on a R1 to an R2 and I don’t know how you know which one it is by looking at it.
How long have you had it? Did you buy it from WeMos?
R1 disappeared a “long” time ago.
This is a genuine D1 R2 so you either have a knock off or the R1.
Yours is a D1 R1 from this picture.
You should select “WeMos D1 (retired)” from the ESP8266 boards list.
LINK i found the link where i bought it from its from its a ESP-12E WeMos D1 WiFi uno based ESP8266 i think i can just use the wemos d1 right? so how do i plug in the moisture sensor?
Your knock off (R1 / R2) looks to be about 3 times the price of the genuine R2.
Let me just check to see if I can establish if yours is R1 or R2.
I would say yours is the retired version from looking at all the pictures.
soo how do i connect the humidity sensor and moisture sensor to the esp?
The humidity sensor (and temperature btw) can be connected to any digital pin. Use the DHT library (available in Arduino via Library management I think) to read it.
edit- that is the data pin ofcourse … + and gnd need to go on there 
Let’s deal with the digital humidity sensor first.
It’s your lucky day, there is a full sketch available for the DHT11 and Blynk at https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/blob/master/examples/More/DHT11/DHT11.ino but it needs converting from an Ethernet connection to an ESP connection.
Connect data pin to pin 2 as that is what is used in the sketch.
Set up a project, get a token, add a couple of value displays on V5 and V6 as per the sketch.
I’ll send you the ESP connection version for the DHT11 shortly.
@UtaMask if you have the WeMos set up correctly and all the libraries correctly installed including DHT.h then this should compile for you. Enter yout token, SSID and pwd in lines 39 to 41.

Just be careful with the pin numbering.
The 2 that is referred to in the sketch is GPIO 2 for the ESP and NOT D2 on your board.
This is the pinout for the R2 and you should try to find a pinout for the R1.
https://www.wemos.cc/product/d1.html
Based on the R2 GPIO 2 is D4 on the WeMos. So the data pin of the DHT11 would be connected to D4.
WeMos removed all reference to R1’s so getting the pinout is not so easy but based on this image from http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=7344&start=4
then GPIO 2 is D9 on your board.
It might be better to change the 2 in the sketch to 4 as this ties to GPIO4 AND D4, plus it doesn’t have the 10K pullup on the pin.
Let us know how you get on.

Entering the url a second time was fine.
can i just have a way to put the pins in the arduino i mean the humidity sensor because iam having a hard time using it and it looks complex i just tried using the led with blynk and iam amazed asf
i dont get this part and also the sensor only has a + out - and i dont know what that means iam super confused its my first time doing these stuff T_T
