[Solved] "Invalid auth token"

Solved
1

I have searched and read many others with this problem but cannot seem to fix my problem.

So in the app I selected for a new token and received an email with:
“Auth Token : 61e36646377b4d91a79db935b8db229c”

So, if I try this:
https://139.59.206.133/61e36646377b4d91a79db935b8db229c/project

I get a blank page with “Invalid token.” at the top.

But I can ping successfully:
Pinging 139.59.206.133 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 139.59.206.133: bytes=32 time=150ms TTL=50

I have tried many new tokens and none of them work.

I have no idea what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Possibly something with the way you are using the regional IP instead of the generic blynk-cloud.com…

As this…

http://blynk-cloud.com/61e36646377b4d91a79db935b8db229c/project

Shows this…

{"id":755582573,"parentId":-1,"isPreview":false,"name":"Home","createdAt":1538514899241,"updatedAt":1538514968328,"widgets":[{"type":"DIGIT4_DISPLAY","id":160077,"x":0,"y":0,"color":600084223,"width":2,"height":1,"tabId":0,"isDefaultColor":true,"deviceId":0,"pinType":"VIRTUAL","pin":5,"pwmMode":false,"rangeMappingOn":false,"min":0.0,"max":1023.0,"frequency":1000,"fontSize":"MEDIUM"}],"devices":[{"id":0,"name":"HomeControl","boardType":"ESP8266","vendor":"HomeControl","connectionType":"WI_FI","isUserIcon":false}],"theme":"Blynk","keepScreenOn":false,"isAppConnectedOn":true,"isNotificationsOff":false,"isShared":false,"isActive":false,"widgetBackgroundOn":false}

Now… go change your Auth to something a little less publicly broadcast across this forum :stuck_out_tongue: and try again.

Yes, I think that works now, thank you Gunner.

I am seeing this:

Which I think is good.

But now the next problem, my app will not display this information.
I have followed the examples but it does not seem to work.

So on my Arduino I am sending data to V5.
Then in my app I define V5 as a “Value Display” and nothing shows?

It shows as:
“V5:–”

Not sure why I am having so much trouble with this?

@sd_read please post your code. Did you run your project? Is it active?

Below is my code and it is a pre-canned example which I cannot get working.

I believe the code below works based on what I posted above therefore I guess the problem is on the app?

But, it is so simple I don’t know what it might be?

This example shows how to send values to the Blynk App,
when there is a widget, attached to the Virtual Pin and it
is set to some frequency

Project setup in the app:
Value Display widget attached to V5. Set any reading
frequency (i.e. 1 second)
*************************************************************/

/* Comment this out to disable prints and save space */
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
#define BLYNK_DEBUG // Optional, this enables lots of prints

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = “61e36646377b4d91a79db935b8db229c”;

// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to “” for open networks.
char ssid[] = “???”;
char pass[] = “1234”;

// Use Virtual pin 5 for uptime display
#define PIN_UPTIME V5

// This function tells Arduino what to do if there is a Widget
// which is requesting data for Virtual Pin (5)
BLYNK_READ(PIN_UPTIME)
{
// This command writes Arduino’s uptime in seconds to Virtual Pin (5)
Blynk.virtualWrite(PIN_UPTIME, millis() / 1000);
}

void setup()
{
// Debug console
Serial.begin(9600);

//Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
// You can also specify server:
Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, “blynk-cloud.com”, 80);
//Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,100), 8080);
}

void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}

Please try the other example, which uses BlynkTimer

Thank you for your suggestion, I have it running using BlynkTimer which now allows me to continue learning how Blynk works.
