Hello, all my devices today could not connect to blynk-cloud.
I thouth something was with wi-fi connection.
I connected one of my device to computer and started debug.

i’ve checked on library versions 0.5.2 and 0.5.3 - result is the same -no connection.

Perhaps your region is part of the 0.84% ?

Something very strange is happening.

I’ve used simple clean example for NodeMCU.

  1. not working source:
void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
}

result:

  1. working source :
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();

  WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);

  Serial.print("Connecting");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
  {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println();

  Serial.print("Connected, IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
 

  Blynk.config(auth, "blynk-cloud.com", 80);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
}

result:

Can somebody explain what has changed ?? and why the first variant suddenly became not working??

Any reason for the old Blynk library?

5

some of my devices are not easy reachable for upgrade firmware. okey i will continue research and post results here.

Hey I have noticed a difference in connecting between port 80 and 8080 on blynk-cloud, maybe try that on your testing?

Seems something was messed with my wifi router (but i didn’t make any changes in the config). I have reset it to default state and reconfigured wifi with the same credentials. And then everything worked as expected. I don’t know what was the reason.
