Cause now my app seems to connect, and read my sensor, but doesnt update the values on my app. I can see it connects, but no values change…maybe I should include my complete sketch?

and my output looks like this:

)…so ur saying is I should try and remove what happens in the void loop and move it to the void setup? I still dont have a blynk.run, but my app still works?
