Hello,
I am using a CCS811 VOC and CO2 sensor, a BMP Pressure and Temperature sensor and an Adafruit SSD1306 OLED display with an Adafruit ESP32 Huzzah. All the sensors and display use i2c communications. If I run my code in the âstand aloneâ mode, i.e. not using Blynk, everything works fine. If I use Blynk, after some minutes up to several hours of operation, I get the following i2c errors:
[esp32-hal-i2c.c:161] i2cWrite():Busy Timeout! Addr:5b.
[esp32-hal-i2c.c:161] i2cWrite():Busy Timeout! Addr:40.
[esp32-hal-i2c.c:161] i2cWrite():Busy Timeout! Addr:5b.
I tried removing the display â same result.
I removed one sensor and removed the display â same result with Blynk.
I have read in other forums that the i2c on the ESP32 has some problems with timing but the fact that it works without Blynk leads me to believe that I must be doing something wrong with Blynk.
My code is below. I cleaned it up a bit by removing some of the functions to make it easier to read and this code works without Blynk and fails with Blynk.

Could someone give me an idea as to what I should do?
Thank you
One of mine runs 24/7 and disconnects from Blynk Server without errors or stopping the sketch at random times days, weeks⌠and this is without using i2C, but it is with using
