Keep loop going while device lost connection to Wifi

[xCutePoison]

Hello guys,

I am fairly new to the Blynk Community. I just connected the ESP32 that controls the LEDs in my room to Blynk and it’s working fine so that’s great. The Neopixels are being updated every 10ms via a Blynk Timer. I can also turn them on and off via a touch sensor.

Now let’s say the internet connection is interrupted for whatever reason, I couldn’t turn on my lights anymore because the Blynk Timer is being interrupted by the reconnecting routine.

Now to my question, is there a way to just call that reconnect routine let’s say every minute or so, so that I can still update the LEDs, in this case just with the touch sensor?

Thanks in advance,
xCutePoison

Dealing with internet outages

So I’m working on integrating Blynk for monitoring a high-reliability system (aeroponics) and I’m trying to figure out how to keep the timer running and keep the control loop working during internet outages. All the sensor data is local and Blynk is just being used for remote monitoring and variable adjustment. With legacy Blynk the whole system would stall until reconnection, posing a hazard to the plants in the system. Is there a connection management routine in new Blynk for dropped connect…
