I am new to Blynk, I am testing my first app, I’ve built my app with a name “Climate Control” and using Wemos D1 ESP8266 standalone board that is connected to my phone’s hotspot. As you can see, I’ve configured both the ssid & password there in the code, as well as the auth key.
Previously, I’ve tried the ESP8266 with DHT22 sensor and it displays both temperature and humidity readings on serial monitor. Means, my Wemos ESP8266 board is working.
So now, why my app says Climate Control is offline because my phone’s hotspot is also connecting to the PC I’m using now and I can browse the internet.
The issue isn’t with your app, and is instead with your hardware. It would appear you named your device and your app the same, hence it’s telling you your device is offline.
… we can’t see your code, although it would be helpful for you to post it here (Remember to put it between triple back-ticks ``` around your code)
That may be your issue. Some mobile hotspots will block the Blynk traffic to the server.
But, it could be any number of other things and without seeing your code and serial monitor output, plus knowing your hardware, phone O/S, Blynk library version etc. etc. etc. it’s impossible to say.

You don’t need to reply to both of us <3, one post would suffice. It seems your issue is with connecting to the Blynk cloud, I would recommend you try and use another network if you haven’t already and then see what difference that makes.
by the way, based on the two sensor readings displayed on my app, can I set a condition like when both readings reach 50, then Blynk app will turn on an LED at my Wemos device?
Slightly longer answer - Yes, but you’ll need to learn some C++ coding skills. People on this forum will help you with technical Blynk issues, but what you’ve described has nothing at all to do with Blynk.
Time invested in learning C++ will pay dividends, as I can guarantee that once you’ve written the code to turn on this LED under these circumstances, you’ll also come up with other enhancements that you’ll want to add.
You’ll be looking at code that says something like…
