MQTT : username & password

Hi,
It seems that the MQTT functionality within Blynk was started but never completed.
There is some info here…

Sending MQTT message to blynk

Hi! I am using local blynk server (server-0.41.15.jar). I was able to send mqtt message to blynk: mosquitto_pub -h <IP> -p 8440 -t “hardware” -u <UID> -P <TOKEN> -m “dx 2 0”. It update the relevant pin on the app side (in this case digital_pin_2 will be 0 on app side), but does not update on the device side. It is possible to send the relevant message also to the device? Thank, Tamás

I use MQTT for communication with all my Home Automation devices, but use Node-Red and the Blynk-ws-contrib for Node-Red to hanlde the communication with the Blynk server via websockets.
This works very well.

Pete.
