Roadmap for Blynk

Announcements
#1

Dear Blynkers, you are asking us “what’s next?” or “Would you implement X feature?” We’ve decided to share our roadmap. It’s high-level, but gives a feel of where are we moving.

  • Bluetooth Low Energy support
  • Customization engine
  • Wi-Fi module for ESP8266

After this is done, we will move to next phase.
You can define what can be here. Think twice, you have only 3 votes :wink:

  • Hardware state handling (e.g. when Arduino pin state changes - Blynk app updates the Button Widget)
  • Hardware online/offline state improvements (better indication of “is hardware online?”, “is hardware offline?”)
  • Project space increase
  • Direct Connect support (for WiFi)
  • RTC widget
  • Design options for widgets (size, button with icons, etc)
  • Phone sensors widgets (GPS, accelerometer)
  • IP camera support
  • Customizable look and feel of the project
  • Home screen widget (to avoid opening App when you need only 1 button click)
  • Haptic feedback (vibration) when touching widgets

Hello. Can I restore some properties (variable states) with last state on server on reconnect arduino.

#4

Hello, no. This is feature is called “Hardware state handling”. Vote for it and it will be implemented.

Scalable widgets or text size
#5

I’ve already done it, but because of an another reason. Then I vote twice for it! Thank you for this project. It’s great!

#6

suggestion: swipe between projects (even if it is just on title bar, although ios hashttps://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer_class/ so it does not clash with your widgets )

#7

Hi. It seems you have defined the “homescreen widget” as an oneclick button. I dont think you should limit yourself with that. A history graph or other informative widgets would be nice. I know its more work, but aim high :wink:

Hi Pavel, when do you intend to release a library to PIC Microncontrollers?

#9

@anlpereira

We don’t have plans for it currently due to a low numbers of requests so far. @vshymanskyy - could you please confirm.

#10

:weary:

I’m using an arduino Nano with esp8266. I can see that all the comunication between them is through AT commands. I think I could hack this and create a lib to use my PIC microcontroller, but I think it isn’t cool. So, could you help us to do that? I need to know what commands to use to connect, send and receive data and how to format data.

@vshymanskyy could help us.

Thank you very much.

#11

@anlpereira, we have an example for ChipKIT UNO, so the library works just well on PICs: https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/blob/master/examples/Boards_USB_Serial/chipKIT_Uno32/chipKIT_Uno32.ino

#12

Thank you @vshymanskyy, But at the moment I’m using arduino. It is working good with ESP8266. I only have some problems with my connection some times.

#13

Isn’t “Design options for widgets (size, button with icons, etc)” a sub-set of “Customizable look and feel of the project”? I voted for the latter, but would ideally like the former to be part of the customizability…
