Hello guys,

I used blynk as a local blynk server on my raspberry pi 3b till the micro sd card died.
Now I started all over and got stuck on connecting any hardware to the blynk server.
The blynk app could connect without any problems.
The raspberry pi is open to everything which comes from my local network and I didn’t changed anything on the router since the sd card broke.

Here the log:

and the server.properties (tried with and without)

hardware mqtt port
hardware.mqtt.port=8440

hardware ssl port
hardware.ssl.port=8441

hardware plain tcp/ip port
hardware.default.port=8442

#http and web sockets port
http.port=8080

#https and web sockets port
https.port=9443

#application ssl port
app.ssl.port=8443

I “hacked” the library in the src/Blynk folder. I changed BlynkConfig.h with these settings and reflashed my ESP’s:

#define BLYNK_DEFAULT_DOMAIN     "192.168.178.103"
#define BLYNK_DEFAULT_PORT       8080
#define BLYNK_DEFAULT_PORT_SSL   8441

Obviously change the IP address. This way you can use the default Blynk.connect(auth); connection handler without having to set the IP and so on in your sketch. It’s a bit tricky because you have to change it when you update your library, but it works for me :slight_smile:
