Seems cant connect to Blynk server

@Neptune

#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_ID "***"
#define BLYNK_DEVICE_NAME "DHT22"

These have to be the very first two lines of your sketch.

Pete.

@PeteKnight Thank you for your advice. I have changed the program like this.

#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_ID "***"
#define BLYNK_DEVICE_NAME "DHT22"
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

//Libraries
#include <DHT.h>;
#include <ESP8266_Lib.h>
//#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>;
#include "WiFiEsp.h"
#ifndef HAVE_HWSERIAL1
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
SoftwareSerial Serial1(6, 7); // RX, TX
#endif

#define DHTPIN 10     // connect the dht output to 10(pwm) 
#define DHTTYPE DHT22   // DHT 22  (AM2302)
#define led 8   //connect to led to pin 8-->change to motor later
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE); //// Initialize DHT sensor for normal 16mhz Arduino

#include <BlynkSimpleShieldEsp8266.h>
#define EspSerial Serial
#define ESP8266_BAUD 115200
#define BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN "***";

However, the results remains like this

AT+CIPCLOSE=1
AT+CIPCLOSE=1
AT+CIPSTART=1,"TCP","blynk.cloud",80

[Neptune]

@PeteKnight is it related to the problem of simpletimer??? if yes where and what should i add to the code?

[PeteKnight]

The problem is that you are using the serial port for communication with Blynk (via the ESP-01) and for debug output.

Change this line

@Neptune

#define EspSerial Serial

to this:

#define EspSerial Serial1

Pete.

[Neptune]

@PeteKnight Thx for the help. Now, it show

Ready (ping: 22ms).

I think it should be fine.
However, when I get into the blynk IOT app or blynk webpage. The connection seems not very stable, it keep disconnected and connecting. Is there my problem of the code??
Also, if I would like to control light bulb(pin8) with the app, what should I set for it?? I saw people can set the pin when thay are using the old app.
Moreover, I am not able to detect the temperture anymore. It keep repeating

Ready (ping: 22ms).

but not showing the temperature in the serial monitor.

[PeteKnight]

@Neptune

Is there my problem of the code??

Yes, now your problem is being caused by your void loop and delays, instead of using BlynkTimer.
Read this…

Keep your void loop() clean

@Neptune

Also, if I would like to control light bulb(pin8) with the app, what should I set for it?? I saw people can set the pin when thay are using the old app.

Use a virtual pin, and read this…

Using Virtual Pins to control physical devices

I thought I’d write a guide about how to use virtual pins with app widgets such as buttons, to control physical devices such as relays, LEDs etc… Why use virtual pins anyway? I’d always recommend using virtual pins over physical pins when developing your code. There are a number of reasons, but here are what I consider to be the main ones: Virtual pins are hardware independent. This means that it’s far easier to port your code from one hardware platform to another in future (when you realise…

Like already told before you’ll need to put the template id and device name lines on top of the code.

[Neptune]

@bazzio oh I know, I tried both way and it seems they are the same. The problem that I am facing is the connection is not that stable. It keep disconnected and all the time in the app. However, in the serial monitor, it keep replying

Ready (ping: 22ms).

You can’t use delays with Blynk!

Pete.

[John93]

Yes, you can’t use delay with blynk, especially in the loop. Check this out :
https://docs.blynk.io/en/legacy-platform/legacy-articles/keep-your-void-loop-clean

You should use blynktimer or simpletimer instead.

[Neptune]

@PeteKnight @John93 Thank you for the advice
So I should change all the delay() to

timer.setInterval(1000L, sensorDataSent);

what should I replace with the " sensorDataSent", if I just want a delay??

[Neptune]

@PeteKnight @John93
Here is my update. I created a new void and change all the delay to simple timer. but nothing changed. the connection is still not stable.

void delaytimer()
{
  int count = 0;
  Serial.print("delay");
  Serial.print(count);
  count++;
}

void sensorDataSend()
{
  timer.setInterval(200L, delaytimer);

  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  timer.setInterval(20L, delaytimer);
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
  timer.setInterval(20L, delaytimer);

  hum = dht.readHumidity();
  temp = dht.readTemperature();
  //Print temp and humidity values to serial monitor(help checking the data)
  Serial.print("Humidity: ");
  Serial.print(hum);
  Serial.print(" %, Temp: ");
  Serial.print(temp);
  Serial.println(" Celsius");

  if (temp >= 20) //running the motor with sensor
  {
    digitalWrite(led, HIGH); //switch on motor
    timer.setInterval(100L, delaytimer);
  }
  else
  {
    digitalWrite(led, LOW); //switch off motor
    timer.setInterval(100L, delaytimer);
  }
  timer.setInterval(100L, delaytimer); //Delay 2 sec.

  //  sensorValue = analogRead(A5);         // reading sensor from analog pin

[PeteKnight]

You’ve totally mis-understood the way in which timers are supposed to be used.
You aren’t meant to be using a timer to simulate a delay.
The main delay in your original code was there to ensure that the sensor was only read once every 2 seconds. In reality, when using a DHT sensor, that really ought to be every 5 seconds.

To achieve this without a delay, a timer is defined which will call the code to read the sensor once every 2 (but preferably 5) seconds.

If you also want to flash an LED on and off when the sensor is read then you’d either use a timeout timer, or a 3rd party library like Ticker.

You can read about timeout timers, along with the correct way to use interval timers, here…

Using BlynkTimer or SimpleTimer

Many users seem to struggle with the basic concepts of using BlynkTimer in their projects, despite the excellent discussions and tutorials that exist on this forum, so I thought I’d write a guide that will hopefully help clarify things. It’s rather long, as it attempts to explain the reasoning behind why and how we use timers, and covers some more advanced subjects, but I’ve tried to organise it in a way that helps people to find answers to specific questions… Why use a timer at all? Let’s say …

but for now I would simply focus on using a timer to read the sensor, then add-in the LED flashing code later.

Pete.

But it doesnt help, what should I do? am I still misunderstanding sth?

Please post your full serial monitor output from device boot-up.

You’re using SoftwareSerial on an Uno and attempting to use a baud rate of 115200, yet SoftwareSerial for AVR devices doesn’t work successfully at rates higher than 9600.

I have no idea what the WiFiEsp library does, but it’s throwing some error messages that you’re ignoring.

Exactly what hardware are you using?

Pete.
