The accelerometer can be used to remote control a RC car or a quad-copter.
The GPS can trigger heating or A/C.
And so on…

Hi, that would be good if I can stream any sensors data on my smartphone to Blynk server to be pass on to my Blynk hardware, and perhaps this model is the best to be adopted for Blynk Apps:

We can turn on and off any sensor we want, and set the reading rate.

Hi…a use case that I don’t see mentioned is use of actual GPS position for several marine/boating applications. For example, to allow more accurate anchoring in various anchorages (or detect slipping of anchor by setting a geofence); to enable alerts when reaching or traveling past certain points-of-interest; remote monitoring of vessel location and performance sent by phone/GSM ; using GPS + heading + accelerometer + wind data for realtime racing tactics; etc. As an active sailor, It’d be great to see lots of Blynk-enabed apps spring up around “smart boats” applications. Thanks.

GPS Widget is planned, but it was postponed for a while. Stay tuned!
I would like to be able to control thru blynk with my smartphone accelerometer. I’m planning to control my lowrider hydraulic suspension with blynk thru BLE to an arduino. But the coolest would be if I can control it by tilting my phone, an the the cars suspension react to that tilting. 
Is there any idea by when the widgets for mobile sensors will be available. These widgets will be very useful and will open up many doors.
The moment my TV turns on when I turn my smartphone upside down as it also goes into silent mode … Can’t wait 
Those widgets are in roadmap for this month. Stay tuned!

@Dmitriy How about a widget that tells about your battery. Let’s say I build a smart switch that goes off as soon as my phone is fully charged. Will save a lot of power and battery life.

As I know in all phones when battery is fully charged it is not charged anymore. So this optimization not necessary.
so no chance of having that widget?
It wasn’t in our plans. I can’t promise it.
A post was split to a new topic: Would like to use my iPhone sensors to control the rear brake on my bicycle via Blynk
did you have any further progression with the wifi detection? it seems like a continued theme for people trying to trigger home automation events. Currently the GPS widget uses too much power…
thanks
This widget in our roadmap.

we can recycle an old smartphone :
doorbell videophone with its webcam and microphone and a virtual numeric keypad to access door lock
