Give some information on how to set the data streams on the web dashboard to the users.
So they place the widgets set the virtual pins and they are good to go.
Yes, it takes some effort to set things up than Blynk legacy !!
No. Will be done at some point (We use that internally, so maybe it’s not that much of work).
I am trying make an open controller for aquarium easyier way. My code is in github, then each user can register in blynk, obtein their token, modify the ino, upload to their mega board, download App blynk legacy (for now), scan the QR dashboard and thats all.
Like other makers projects. I no earn money, just showing how blynk works, and how they can control their aquariums.
Thanks

In the new version the BRIDGE is missing, a really big loss …

no, we got around the problem 
Hello Pete,
I fully agree with you that we should start migrating to the new Blynk version. But I find it rather difficult to find my way .
First of all there are a couple of new concepts, which to me should be better be explained. Like template, device…Just a simple explanation of the purpose of the concept would clarify a lot.
I have a very simple application (in the old version ) communicating with an arduino uno board connected to a router via ethernet. I 've tried to understand how to migrate to the new blynk, but all the examples I find on how to set up this configuration in the new blynk eventually end up in a wifi connection thing and don’t detail how to connect via ethernet. Do I have to incorporate the blynk.edgent library into the arduino code etc…
A simple example - a push button widget - lighting a led via an arduino board connected via an ethernet cable to a router would clarify a lot
If a guideline explaining this would exist , would you please provide me with directions where to find it
regards
Rob
No, Blynk Edgent is for use with WiFi connections.
Migrating you existing code is simply a case of adding an additional line of code that contains your template ID, but this MUST be at the beginning of your sketch.
There are many examples in the Blynk library.
The only exception to this is if you use Notifications, Bridge or the Timer widget, but your simple blink an LED example is very straightforward.
Pete.
This is exactly what @Robert doesn’t want, as it uses Edgent and WiFi provisioning, which is not relevant with an Ethernet connection.
Pete.
I have a question: did I understand correctly that my blynk 0.1 is completely unusable and that I now have to start from scratch with blynk 2? Or can I just keep using blynk 0.1?
Blynk 0.1 (Legacy) is no longer supported.
Blynk we’re planning to turn off the cloud servers at the end of this year, but they seem to have changed their mind on the timing, and it’s not now clear when they will be turned-off.
My advice is to migrate to Blynk 2.0 (IoT).
Pete.
ok but my old code is kind of useless for blynk 2.0? And I can’t use the version with a local server either, can I?
Why?
If you’re using a local server with Blynk Legacy then why are you worried about the cloud server EOL situation?
Pete.
Because can i copy paste the code to blynk 2.0 or do I have to start from scratch of?
I dont use a local server but that was my question if I use a local server, I can then continue to use blynk 0.1?!
Neither?
If you want to use dynamic provisioning, you’re best bet is to load up the Edgent example for your applicable board and modify that sketch to your needs (inserting your code).
If you are fine with static provisioning the code will be quite similar, just need to add the Device Name and Template ID lines to the very top of your sketch after creating them in the web console and assigning your datastreams correctly.
Yes. You just need to add-in the template ID if you want static provisioning. The rest depends on your code, it may need some minor tweaks for RTC, notifications etc.
You could, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Local server will take some setting-up and maintaining, and depending on your choice of hardware platform may require a reasonable investment if you want a bulletproof solution.
It also depends if you use iOS or Android.
If you use iOS then once the app is pulled from the App Store you’ll have a big problem.

So i have now updated everything to blynk 1.0, everything works too (thanks vor helping), only i noticed that offline notifications are either very late or not at all. Do I have to add anything to the code?
Typo?
Pete.
Yes i mean 2.0 
In the device informations it shows me online since 8:15 but in the timeline it shows 6:24 but i did not get any offline notification.
Hello,
Is there any plans of a goodwill gesture from the developers for the energy purchased on Blynk 1.0? Something like 2-3 months of plus or extra devices on any plan chosen?
I bought 20£ last year and pretty much never managed to use them for personal issues, I was now starting to work again on some project but having to invest again Blynk 2.0 more money is kind of a set back and I was not anticipating it. When I heard of Blynk 2.0 I believed the energy could be simply be transferred.
Thanks
