Is it your intention to have two copies of the project running at the same time?
If not, then why can’t you use the existing project?
I sorted this out already.
I’m sorry for all these questions but I’m new to this and still learning how the things work.
The other thing I would like to implement to my greenhouse project is video streaming or at least taking stills. I was able to complete a project where ESP32-CAM was taking pictures and sending them to Blynk local server (local WiFi). This is the code I used:

What should I change in order to make it work with my 3G router? I tried to replace like this
Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, password, IPAddress(192,168,1,2), 8080);
with
Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, "myhostname", 9443);
Only the button worked (LED lights up) but no pictures are taken.
Please advise if I need to start a new topic on this.
