I would love to use Blynk.config and Blynk.connect but for the life of me I cannot make it work. I read hours through the examples and tried… Any example how to exactly put it in the code above would be awesome.

I think it’s a bit harder with the horrible Arduino/ESP01 combo. Here’s one tip about how to get it working:

Help with Blynk.config on Arduino & ESP8266 compile problems

When running an ESP in AT mode (WiFi Shield) I found I need to use this in order to use Blynk.config() on the Arduino. #include <ESP8266_Lib.h> // ESP-01 Link #include <BlynkSimpleShieldEsp8266.h> // ESP-01 Link wifi.setDHCP(1, 1, 1); //Enable dhcp in station mode and save in flash of esp8266 Blynk.config(wifi, auth, server, port); if (Blynk.connectWiFi(ssid, pass)) { Blynk.connect(); }

And a few more places to look:

Is there any reason why you can’t use a NodeMCU or ESP32?
