Or some stats on monitoring online/offline status of your devices to know if there are connectivity issues?

- I definitely have strong belief that things should work good and look good. And I will always criticize shitty visual design.
- This is why Blynk appeared in first place. I came up with this app and said: oh, my gosh, why engineers canāt focus on what they do best: engineering and if they donāt have design experience, letās make it for them. This why Squarespace and Shopify appeared. They didnāt want to see ugly websites and awful stores. Today anyone can build a beautiful and functional website. If they have always thought about peon users saying: āaah, come one, they will use whatever we give themā ā they would never become successful.
This is what made me start Blynk:
When I tinkered with Arduinos for a while I came across this app. I used it and realized: I hate to open it every time. It looks bad, it works bad, itās buggy. I think it never worked properly for me. And Blynk was born.

Blynk can definitely be better in many aspects, both visually and functionally. And your screenshot proves that (even though Blynk was never designed for tablets and it will always cause issues). But we are working on it, believe me.

Those who need full freedom in designing whatever interface they need - Blynk is definitely not for them. Our mission is different: provide engineers with building blocks that work great and look great so that they can focus on building great stuff.

While itās definitely one of the best designs ever made with Virtuino, it looks like it came from around 1996ā¦ 
I can appreciate the back in time vibe though )

BTW, specially for @Gunner, we will integrate with Microsoft Word and enable WordArt in new Blynk.
Clipper integration may come as a bonus

looks good ! but weather widget, phone wifi signal widget, phone battery widget, microphone and speaker widget is what I need in next blynk.
thanks.
Why would you need this within the Blynk app? When phone itself has those widgets.

Is there any plan to transfer our āenergy balanceā to new Blynk Platform? Despite Iām local server guy, Iāve got energy at Blynk server.
Not sure if that question was already doneā¦
Regards
@Pavlo, thatās looking awesome.
I suspect a lot of frustration on the forum is coming from the lack of comms from your side. Iām sure there are reasons for you and the team to hold back but please put yourself in our shoes. Many of us have invested a lot of time and effort into our Blynk setups and itās hella annoying to be left in the dark for so long.

No. New Blynk still will have some free limit. However, advanced features will be paid.

@ThatGuy_ZA well, the core functionality will remain the same. We just adding more levels of abstraction that is necessary for every real business - like organizations, products, metafields, permissions, user management, org analytics, etc. In general, all this is added on the top of the existing features. Sure, some things will be changed/removed/added, but in general this is the same old good Blynk 
.
We donāt talk much now as we have to finish existing contracts, before we can process further with public launch.
All existing firmware code could be ported easily. Youāll need just to change the host and auth token. We use the same lib on the hardware side. Regarding mobile app setup - yeah, here youāll have to recreate it under the new app. But I think this shouldnāt be a big trouble. Anyway, you donāt have to do this. You can stay on the old Blynk version.

For triggering with nodes. For example when phone wifi signal set to 70db then running somethingās.
For that use case we had another great widget idea. But we never had a change to implement it

Nooooooooooooooo
UkĆ”zky vypadajĆ velmi dobÅe. Už se tÄÅ”Ćm.
Are there plans on how long will the old Blynk version be receiving updates? I donāt want to derail this discussion too much, so a quick reply would be enough and appreciated!
For instance - although I hate digging up an old subject again, Iāll still do it - is there any hope the inconsistent font size problem on different screen sizes will get resolved before the development stops? At some point in the past I was able to use my tablet on portrait to at least check the values or toggle a switch even if it didnāt look very good. Today the sizes are so much off, only phone is an optionā¦ (and yes I do remember tabletās were never officially supported but somehow I would expect the UI to look like a zoomed in phone on a portrait tablet).
I would also like to chime in with some others on the frustration of blind waiting. Iāve aswell given up further development of my home and summer home Blynk UIās as it feels like the effort will likely be wasted. There doesnāt really seem to be any viable alternatives to create pleasing to use mobile UIās either so Iāve noticed this has started to affect my overall interest in automation in general.

You can do this now . . . use āWiFi.RSSI();ā function in your sketch.
This will get the RSSI value, you can then do want you want based on level.

I mean router RSSI not node side RSSI. I can reading the router RSSI with SNMP protocol but all routerās not support this features.
We plan only to update the app in order to support new Android versions and thatās it.

Thanks for the reply, this is perfectly understandable from the business perspective. How about security updates if the need arises?
