Reading good.
After directing phone app to local server, then regenerating auth, appying auth to arduino, it works. I’m able to change an output state on the board. Really cool.
I have no idea why serial output doesn’t display blynk msg/debugging, and question the unnecessary config pointed out by Pete that doesn’t make sense either. Unsure whether the debugging logs that would be generated would have directed me to the problem sooner… I’m a guy that learns mostly by fixing things, so I plan to proceed with my project–and will learn as I go.
Thanks for your help, Pete. You were/are a big help. The link you sent was helpful too (I had seen it in the past, but info (noise) overload often trigger TLDR… Although that link is to valuable info–good study info for anyone familiarizing themselves.
I’m pretty excited to advance with SCADA at a remote (cell WAN only) cabin… I think the hardware/software (arduino/Blynk) has lots of potential. Having my server local on Synology NAS comes with many benefits too–mostly that the data will be stored on my property. I plan to look deeper into the security aspects, but expect it to be relatively secure vs cloud.
Take care! I’ll be around.
