Aaron:

While I see it is available to do simple text input boxes in the App, the web dashboard only allows sliders?? Our support team can I suppose do the settings from their phones if necessary, but is there a way to accomplish say entering an IP address to update on the device - from the web - without resorting to a set of sliders? (The module interface looked promising, but that is still a incremental input). Not a showstopper, but seemed to be a missing pice so I figured I’d ask.

One of the settings on our devices returns a rf frequency plot as an array to visualize the results of the changes made. (100 data points representing 100 frequencies and the level at each). Plotting this to a chart would very much be the ideal, but if I am reading everything correctly only time based data can be charted? Again, not critical, but a nice VSWR chart it easier on the support department than just saying “peak value was xxx at xxx frequency”…

Hello. Thanks for your interest. Both points are valid.

Regarding text input - I think it will be done in the next 2 weeks. Web Dashboard is pretty new for us, so it is missing some key inputs. Will be fixed eventually.

Regarding the graph - it’s a common request. Can’t promise anything, but we’ll check what we can do.

Hi @Aaron,

Thanks for your feedback!

As @Dmitriy already said, we are adding new widgets when there is a reasonable amount of requests, however, we also have a department in Blynk that can build any widget or feature based on your requirements.

If you believe Blynk covers the majority of the features you need, but you lack some core features to launch your business - please get in touch and we can discuss how it can be done.

Pavel and Dmitriy,

Thanks for the information, I’m glad these are on your radar and realize that the commercial offering and web interface is a newer product, i will be interested to see how it grows!

Currently we are going to use Blynk for this low volume project to test features, but we do have a much larger project coming up that I believe Blynk will also be a good fit for. I sent a message to your sales support form on the website to arrange a call as we will want to discuss custom integrations and moving to your white-box solution. I look forward to working with you!

Thanks
Aaron
