How to make a pocket hotspot power on if it is not

[wanek]

i think you didn’t understand what he wants. (or maybe i do not understand

but he tries to check if there is net connection or not, and do events based on this decision.

maybe:

@Ardubogus

The thing is that i need the ESP to know that if he can’t connect to wifi or blynk 40/60 seconds after booting, he has to change the pin 16 to high for 5 seconds (button press time needed to get it out of charge mode) , then put it low and wait another 40/60 seconds or until it connects and then proceed.

and i guess he can not do this because of the blocking function of blynk begin…

Blynk Library for Arduino v0.4.1 is released

so given the changes in 0.4.1 does that mean the Blynk.begin will wait forever until it connects to a Blynk server (or is there a configurable time-out parameter, either in Blynkconfig.h or local blynkserver) ?

Location of Blynk.config() vs Blynk.connect()

Mine even blocks when the connection drops (which I want, but can be changed via the Blynk.config() method). New features: - Blynk.begin() now blocks until server is connected Edit: A real-world use case… I have many sensors all over the house… they are all just ESP with basic Blynk.begin() connections… many out of reach so can’t cycle power. I often take down the Blynk server to update it, or reboot the NAS/Router etc… I never touch any sensors’ power… but they reconnect automatically …
