Insight needed; BLYNK_WRITE won't update variable

So you’re saying I’m not connecting right? I did managed to send values to the blynk app tough… so I know I did made a connection at some point… (this is a new project by the way, I’m having a working project | a beer brewery | on another arduino and it works just fine. I just never had to send data back to the hardware before…)

I’ve tried it before when I came across this link ([SOLVED] Blynk app says "device is offline" - #3 by sanjaysy), alas, did not work… tried it again tough just to try to pinpoint to the source of the problem with you all on this tread. Resulting serial:

I did move the slider, the app said “device is offline”
