Meer informatie over Blynk

Pluspunten:

The guidance and community features were the biggest things for us. We didn't have a lot of expertise, and there was a lot of help available.

Minpunten:

We struggle with the user interface, we have grown accustom to how it works, but some of our users still have issues. Not a deal breaker by any means.

Nice app for IoT

4,0 vorig jaar

Opmerkingen: Instead of buying expensive devices, this app allows you to build IoT devices using simple electronical parts. That's great.

Pluspunten:

It has a big community where you can share you coding issues and receive answers. Also, it's very flexible...you can use a lot of Arduino boards and play with different projects.

Minpunten:

Monthly subscriptions. Initially, you could buy some points and with those points get permanent elements (buttons, graphs). Now, you need to have this subscription.

Good for beginner development and intermediate projects!

4,0 2 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

First of all, it is very common and simple to use. A platform with so many sources for information that almost every IoT lover is starting out in some way or another.The library and documentation they have prepared for additional products and especially for development kits such as ESP and Arduino, which are used extensively for maker cutting, are very good.I think they are also good at things like drag and drop, mobile app, flexibility in pricing.

Minpunten:

In my opinion, developer resources can be increased and more professional support can be offered for advanced and upper-intermediate projects.Higher and customizable layers can be added for the drag and drop portion.

It is easy, beginner-friendly, sophisticated, and cloud-compatible

4,0 2 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

We can connect our IoT sensors and modules using this free Android software, which is available to everyone. The user experience is excellent, and the user interface is engaging. It often releases new upgrades and additions to improve the functionality of its program. Even a complete novice may use the platform's no-code method to quickly grasp IoT. Data visualization on a dashboard is useful during the product development and design phases. No one can avoid using this app since it is so all-consuming. Its online offerings are much superior to those of its rivals in this market. Additionally, firmware configuration is simple to manage thanks to the WiFi provisioning procedure.

Minpunten:

For users of mobile apps, the notice also looks to be overly delayed. It should be enhanced in a variety of ways. Complex use cases might not be produced with a no-code technique, requiring more development work. It seems that the technology can be difficult for inexperienced integrators. It has been noted that the user receives Blynk Software notifications with a delay. I also like having gadgets that can be organized into groups based on their functions so that I can manage them all at once.

One console/ App to control all your IOT applications - Blynk!

5,0 3 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: We have been using Blynk for all our enterprise IOT clients. Blynk application is pretty solid, therefore, one can consider using it for production applications. Blynk server cannot also be setup to build a private Blynk server which will only server your IOT devices and will not be shared.

Pluspunten:

1. Drag and drop dashboards: are amazing. You can create dashboards for Web and mobile App as well. It is super easy, simply drag and drop and create buttons. 2. Display metrics: and dashboards are also amazing for data visualtization such as information from your IOT applications. 3. Secure access: to your devices is possible through auth tokens being provided by Blynk. No one else can play around with your devices without your authorization, therefore, Blynk makes its super secure.

Minpunten:

1. For complex use cases: Blynk becomes little difficult to use for newbies since documentation is not that exhaustive. IOT devices have plenty of use cases which needs different configuration for each device, which cannot be documentated. However, major use cases shall be documented for ease of use and reducing learning curve.

Great product for rapidly deploying IoT apps

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: My employer contracted with Blynk to build some custom functionality for monitoring environmental parameters. We had a great experience, they designed several new UI elements to solve our needs, they've always been extremely easy to deal with and responsive to my questions. I would recommend them to anyone looking to solve a unique problem with IoT!

Pluspunten:

I've used Blynk for both personal and business use. I've used it for several small IoT projects in my house (monitoring pets, lights, temp, etc), and my employer also contracted with Blynk to perform some custom functions for an application we needed. They excel at customer service and I would recommend them for either small or large projects.

Minpunten:

There are some features I'd like them to include, like a web dashboard. That said, this isn't really a criticism of their current offering, it's more of a feature request. I have no negatives to comment on the features they do offer, it has worked surprisingly well for me in many different applications.

Create proof-of-concept Apps in a Blynk

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: From my first time using Blynk, I went straight to work building my App for use with an Arduino and guess what...? It worked the first time. Hardware/software projects are difficult to begin with. Blynk has alleviated a lot of this for the initial attempt of a new project.

Pluspunten:

Blynk is the first "App builder" I've used which has made it extremely quick & effortlessly to build an App for connecting to an Arduino or Particle IoT Board. Part of the challenge of designing for The Internet of Things, is proving to a client that what they're looking for is possible. Blynk makes is easy to create a proof-of-concept which the client can easily try out.

Minpunten:

There are some limitations to Blynk (as with other App Builder solutions), and that's where the native SDK's come in for building real, enterprise Apps. Though this is a drawback, the usefulness far outweighs the cons.

Blynk with ESP8266 helps you to create good IOT projects

5,0 4 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I had one ESP8266 controlling a relay that in turns controlled my cable TV receptor that is located high in my bedroom and had an stand-by light that was annoying on the darkness. So I use this device with relay to turn on and off the mains power of this cable receptor and I controlled it using the Blynk app in my mobile. I used it for years without any issue.

Pluspunten:

Blynk is a great app that you can control IOT (Internet of Things Devices) like ESP8266 or Arduino development boards. You can create nice looking interface to monitor sensors like temperature and humidity sensors and also see surveillance camera. It also offers widgets that you can add in your mobile android main screen for instance and in this way you can see data and control devices in one click. What I like most is the facility to create nice looking interface to control devices like ESP8266.

Minpunten:

Blynk is not totally free software, you have limited number of internal cash (credit) that you can virtually spend buying some components to use in the interface that you create. But this credit is generally not enough for medium, large projects, so then you need to spend real money buying new credits to increase your projects.

Particle and ESP Projects made easy!

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I use several dashboards for several projects around the house, including my home security system and sump pump monitor. The app is very pleasing to the eye, my projects look very professional, and works flawlessly. The community support is very active, and company stakeholders are extremely active on their forums. They are generous with the amount of product that they let you use for free, more than enough to try it out and create truly useful projects, but if you want to do more, the cost to add additional widgets is surprisingly cheap. I threw them $20 a long time ago and still have most of that credit available.

Pluspunten:

Network connected microcontrollers are meaningless without a way to interact with them. Blynk makes the interface/app end of things EASY.

Minpunten:

None. The Blynk app works well on all devices I've tried, setting up a project is easy, coding the controller is easy, and things just work!

The Software Bridge for the Internet of Things

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: For me Blynk is the first choice for the central software of an IoT idea. And the most important: it's fun!

Pluspunten:

Blynk is the ideal software solution to connect all imaginable ideas around IoT hardware and make them accessible via Android and iOS Apps. Where Blynk really shines is creating complex user interfaces for monitoring and control. What takes hours in other systems can be done in a few minutes in Blynk. It is open and also integrates into other solutions, e.g. you are free to put your monitoring data into the Blynk cloud or use your own database with a little more effort.

Minpunten:

The documentation could be more detailed. Many good tips and examples can only be found in the Community Forum, which is well maintained by the developers.

Incredibly awesome tool

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Blynk controls my proton particle interfaces to control several hardware in my house.

Pluspunten:

Blynk allowed me to create a system for a proton interface to control my house. I didn’t wanted to create an entire app, so Blynk came as a fast solution and ended up beign a complete tool to create a fully automatization system for my house, and apart from all that, amazingly let me share with family members who also live in my house.

Minpunten:

There are no “cons”, only some little bugs that have appear from time to time, like disconnections, inhabillity to share with others trough qr, and thins that, asmwith any app, solves either automatically or trough app updates.

Using Blynk for quite some times

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I've been using Blynk for quite some times now, for controlling Things at home: rolling gate, lights, pump, etc. It never fail me. Even I've been connect it to Google Assistance through IFTTT and now my son can turn on the light by asking Googe Assistance to turn on for him, previously he has to ask us to help, because the switch is too high for him.

Pluspunten:

It's free download and still free if using for small projects. But I don't mind paying for tokens for bigger project, since it's very useful.

Minpunten:

If we have several projects, some times it may turns to selecting project's mode. It would be a bit difficult, let's say when I need to open my gate while driving.

Essential for hobby projects to IOT startups

5,0 3 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

Blynk is simpler to set up, requiring only the addition of library and header files to Arduino and other code, and allowing you to submit any data to their web servers. You can also write to virtual pins in addition to digital and analog pins. This is useful for extra computed data from basic sensor inputs or reporting additional data from the device to the server. They also provide an API that you can use to combine the Blynk platform with your own bespoke dashboards and mobile apps. You can also use their own dashboard and mobile app for basic tasks.

Minpunten:

More information may be provided in the documentation. Many useful hints and examples can only be found in the developers' well-maintained Community Forum. The strengths and faults of Blynk are intertwined. It is simple to use, but more specialized jobs are harder to do. It supports a wide range of platforms, which necessitates that it cover the lowest common denominator. Documentation could be considerably enhanced, especially lower-level API and protocol documentation, which would aid in the development of more advanced use cases.

Amazing Ease-of-use IOT

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I created an amazing remote start for my car using this. The app and the software to run all of the automation was so easy to use. It was incredible to be able to create the front end to my project on a day.

Pluspunten:

Drag and drop app makes it incredibly easy to creatrean intuitive gui that would take weeks or months otherwise. The amount of inputs and outputs available are great and don't leave anything to be desired.

Minpunten:

I don't know why they decided to use js and not python. I had to go find a port to use it. I the world of raspberry pi python is king and an official python api would be amazing.

Excellent application to start IoT and more

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I wanted to start my connected home mostly using ESP8266 to do really custom hardware and software. Blynk allowed me to get it running within a few hours.

Pluspunten:

The software is very easy to use and implement even for me who did not do any coding in the last 15 years. My sensors have been running on Blynk server for more than 3 years now without any issue. I was also positively impressed when seeing my improvement proposals implemented in the app after only a few weeks.

Minpunten:

There could still be some further improvements in the GUI to get close to Grafana for instance

Blynk is great for any IoT maker

4,0 6 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: The overall experience is great - I hope the community and the ecosystem in the platform will be growing. Our BigClown customers have been using it for their maker projects, but it is also used in the educational sector.

Pluspunten:

I absolutely love the simplicity and the pricing model. That's the reason why we have integrated Blynk as a #1 integration for makers to our BigClown IoT Digital Maker Kit platform. You can easily connect your hardware with your mobile app dashboard within minutes and without writing a single line of code. We find the Blynk cloud service very stable. The great part is, you can not only display sensor values (and plot time series graphs from them), but control your appliances as well.

Minpunten:

I believe the app UI design for such a great tool deserves to be a bit better. We connect Blynk through a Node-RED plugin. However, a more CLI approach (and transparent bridge to MQTT) would be nice.
