Using Dashboard in Blynk

There’s an official Blynk web dashboard in the pipeline. It’s discussed more in the later stages of this topic:

As you’ll see, the last ETA was sometime last month - but don’t hold your breath. It’s probably not worth asking “are we there yet” either.

I use Node-Red extensively, and played with the dashboard but soon abandoned it. Node-Red dashboard is code-free, but has some severe limitations. You also have to manually manage the transfer of data between Node-Red and Blynk and back again (which you would with any system) and that can be a pain if you’re using Node-Red and MQTT messages to talk to your devices rather than running Blynk code on those devices.

Have you seen this topic:

(Last time I tried, it didn’t work on Safari on an iOS device, but it’s fine on my desktop device).
