Hello,
I recently got the “Weather Monitoring with ESP32 (with WiFi provisioning & OTA)” sketch working and I can access it from my PC web browser and my phone. I am not sure how this is really working. Is the “weather station app” a program running on the phone or does it run in the cloud?
I would like to be able to have a link to share so that anyone could access the weather station website. Is this possible? If so, how do you do this, could you please provide an example?
Thanks,
Steve
Your ESP32 uploads data to the cloud, linked to your Blynk account.
The web browser accesses that data, once you log in to your Blynk account in the browser.
The app works in a similar way, you log in to the app and it accesses the cloud data.
It depends what type of subscription you have as to whether you can share the data. A free and starter account has only one user, so if you shared your login details with others they could edit/delete your dashboard, devices etc.
The prototype account would allow you to have 50 users and limit their rights.
Alternatively, you could build a website and write code that uses the Blynk API to pull data from the cloud and display it on the website, provided you have the skills to do that and you don’t exceed the monthly message limit for your account.
Pete.
