Of course I read that… Gentlemen… This is pretty restrictive… I am WAY WAY away from the other location where my other device is physically located. I KNOW or could lookup the IP address of the firewalled router hosting it. But, I cannot go to that physical site at this time and it looks like I’m therefore locked out.
I should not have to take the time to set up a stand alone server.
So, I guess I should just seek other methods of getting a few buttons going on my iPhone. Irritating to say the least… and it leaves you guys with a frustrated user who is not going to be able to recommend Blynk.
Wow… This is your very first posting, and you came out full caps and guns blazing Perhaps a little more detail might allow us some clarification of what you need.
At the time of your leaving (work?) was the Particle Photon powered up and connected to Blynk’s Cloud server? If so, then you just need to connect to that same server…NOT your offices IP.
If the default setting in the app (to Blynk) is not working, then you can ping blynk-cloud.com from a PC to get the IP to place in the custom setting, or PM @Dmitriy, as requested, and he can pull that info from their side.
If however you have setup a Local Server, also at work, then well… ya… you need that public IP and have previously setup port forwarding.
BTW, this is all standard IoT type networking configuration… not “Blynk’s Fault”
