I can’t upload dht11 to Nodemcu because it says converting to nodemcu is not possible
I assume you mean that you have some code that was written for an Arduino device, which you’re trying to use with a NodeMCU.
If that is the case then start your journey from a different place, with DHT11 code written for the NodeMCU, such as this:
https://examples.blynk.cc/?board=ESP8266&shield=ESP8266%20WiFi&example=More%2FDHT11

Dear Pete,
I tried with the example you suggested, and this is the error message!

If you’d have read the comments at the beginning of the code example that you downloaded, you would have seen this:
*************************************************************
This example shows how value can be pushed from Arduino to
the Blynk App.
WARNING :
For this example you'll need Adafruit DHT sensor libraries:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Sensor
https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library
App project setup:
Value Display widget attached to V5
Value Display widget attached to V6
*************************************************************/
You obviously haven’t followed the instruction to download and install the Adafruit libraries, which is why the compiler is saying:

I am ready, Work! Than you Pete
Sorry I wrote it wrong! Thank you Pete
Dear Pete, I found a mistake! Works fine with nodemcu in blynk on dht11! But! If the connection between nodemcu and dht11 is disconnected, or between the network and nodemcu, the gauge will still display a real value in the blynk! It would be nice if the connection is lost somewhere then just write dots instead of gauge values! Is it possible? Thank you.
Adding these two new lines of code should fix the problem if the sensor is disconnected, although I’ve not tried it…
if (isnan(h) || isnan(t)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
// new lines added by Pete Knight...
Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, "- - -");
Blynk.virtualWrite(V6, "- - -");
return;
}
As far as solving the problem of a value still showing when the device Is disconnected from the Blynk server, that can’t be done, but you will get a red dot at the top of the app screen to show that your device is offline, so you’ll know that the readings displayed are incorrect.
Pete.
Hi Pete, Tried it but unfortunately it doesn’t work! By inserting the 2 lines you will no longer allow it to be uploaded to nodemcu! Could I have copied the two lines incorrectly?
It looks like the forum has changed the quotation marks from normal ones to ones that slope to the right.
This would give a message something like “stray character 222” when you compile it.
Edit the sketch and the-type the quotation marks and it should work.
Pete.
I am facing the same problem with the same codes for DHT11… but i did not get this message, like what are the steps exactly to make it work without disconnecting or offline.
What problem?
What codes?
What message?
Pete.
The blynk application on the top of the app screen it shows that your device is offline then disconnected

You need to change this to use port 8080 instead of 8442

Thank you, but i am still having the same results and blynk is offline
