Hi Bill, the simple shield library acts as a wrapper that translates the WiFi commands into AT commands that the ESP-01 can use. Only some AT commands are passed through into useable methods in the library, so you have to hack the library to get more methods available.
This code will give you local IP and MAC…
And this will give you RSSI…
SSID is available with this RSSI hack, but as it’s needed as a variable to connect to your network anyway then it’s available in your code already…
Edited to add… I’m not condoning hacking the Blynk library in this way, and obviously you do so at your own risk and will need to take appropriate precautions when you do library updates in future
