Hello.
I install node-red and node-red-contrib-blynk-ws.
How i can monitor write event o read event on phisical pins?
In node Write event i see only Virtual Pin “All pins” or One vortual pin.
But in logs i see, that phisical pins also do events, and write in logs.
Node-Red only supports Blynk virtual pins.
To be honest, it makes no real sense to use digital pins with Node-Red, as you don’t want to control the hardware pins on whatever device is being used to host Node-Red - or if you do then you use a device specific command from within Node-Red.

“Node-Red only supports Blynk virtual pins.”
But why in logs is exist hardware pin events?
I have button in blink, wich control hardware pin.
I want make message in telegram, when this button push on blynk client. Can i make it with node-red?
Because that’s the data that is being sent from the Blynk server.
Yes, if you send the command on a virtual pin.
I use Node-Red for 99% of my projects, but only ever use virtual pins in Blynk.
Also, I choose never to run Blynk code on my devices, only MQTT.

On hardware pins i connect relays.
And you say, that i shall use virtual pins. So, i shall write procedure on “write event”, for example, on V1, and in procedure write V1 i shall set hardware pin d13 in 0 or 1? Did I get it right?
You should probably read this if you want to continue to run Blynk code on your devices…
I thought I’d write a guide about how to use virtual pins with app widgets such as buttons, to control physical devices such as relays, LEDs etc…
Why use virtual pins anyway?
I’d always recommend using virtual pins over physical pins when developing your code. There are a number of reasons, but here are what I consider to be the main ones:
Virtual pins are hardware independent. This means that it’s far easier to port your code from one hardware platform to another in future (when you realise…
Or this if you want to switch to 100% MQTT…
I thought I’d start a topic about some of the home automation things I’m doing with Blynk.
We live in London, England, and also have a holiday home in Spain where we spend around 4 months of the year. Most of my home automation projects are based in the Spanish home and are aimed at simplifying day-to-day life while we’re there. My wife is disabled, and finds new technology a bit of a challenge, so all the projects that I’ve created are aimed at being practical, easy to use and reliable.
