My usage of Blynk

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with Blynk is it was the best platform for Internet of Things supporters.We can connect with various Hardware devices and can control our projects.

Pluspunten:

1.It is very user friendly to create and control our projects.2.It is a remote access,so we can control the projects from anywhere.

Minpunten:

1.The main drawback was for some additional or advanced features we have to purchase the app.2.It also providing only less offline functionalities during not connected to an internet network.

Best app for IoT

Opmerkingen: Use as main app for my IoT devices. It was really the simplest to integrate and put my designs to run quickly with stability.

Pluspunten:

Very simple to perform integrations, stable and simple to use

Minpunten:

Expand chart options and Multi languages

very good for IoT application

Opmerkingen: It is free to use and very productive and easy to use.

Pluspunten:

It is simple to use and very easy to understand the concept. I personally used it and it's easy to use with Arduinand WiFi module

Minpunten:

I don't know anything about disliking about the software. It is very easy to apply and use the concept.

Nice app for IoT

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.

Feel Safe with Blynk

Opmerkingen: Absolutely love it now we have everything running correctly.

Pluspunten:

The picture is so clear. Being able to get great views. Love being able to turn my phone on and see everything.

Minpunten:

Was a little hard understanding how to connect to my phone.Instructions was not user friendly. It took someone with more media experience to help set it up.

Blynk my first step to iot

Pluspunten:

Blynk is verry smooth going app. Help in my alot of projects during my college days.

Minpunten:

Limited free trial which has to be improve.

blynk

Opmerkingen: I'm very satisfied in order to make Iot Devices . with the help of these app i have a made automatic smart home in my house.

Pluspunten:

when I want to make IoT Device, these help me easily by only dragging and dropping the button in scratch.

Minpunten:

how to use for integration for first time its confusing how to access the bylnk app.

Good for beginner development and intermediate projects!

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.

The best service to built IoT applications

Opmerkingen: For me this software is the best service to built IoT applications. It really makes my day.

Pluspunten:

This software is so easy to use and I really like the most. Developer also provide a training for user that was so amazing.

Minpunten:

Some key features is missing for IOS user. It is not developer's fault maybe Apple has some restrictions.

Building IoT Projects Made Easy

Opmerkingen: Blynk offers a wide range of pre-built widgets and components that help users to quickly add functionality to their projects. The platform also offers a wide range of integrations with different hardware platforms such as Arduino, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi, making it a great choice for users who want to create IoT projects with different types of microcontrollers.

Pluspunten:

Blynk is its easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface and real-time data visualization features that make it simple for users to create IoT projects

Minpunten:

mobile app has a limited set of features and could be improved

One stop download and control software

Pluspunten:

The user interface and function is specific and simple. Connect your robot using the app with an easy click and check the working!

Minpunten:

Sometimes the app crashes or connectivity looses which should get fixed.

Pluspunten:

pretty much all of them, plus it h as good recording which is clear

Minpunten:

none i can complain about at this time, all is good

Easiest IoT Out There

Pluspunten:

This app was absolutely the easiest IoT setup I've ever been through. I've used it multiple times with my esp8266's to setup up rbg controllable lights that I can share with friends. Their arduino library couldn't be simpler to implement and comes with great documentation and a multitude of examples for each type of device. All I needed was an autogenerated key string at the top of my code to connect it to the prebuilt and maintained backend. Then it was as simple as adding their rgb widget and pointing it at the pins I set. I loved that I could share my project with my family so they could control the lights with the same setup on their phones. No UI work necessary on my part and a setup up of 5 min means this is a HUGE win.

Minpunten:

I have very little to say in cons since they really met my needs quickly as a developer who works fast on his side projects and hobbies. One small thing I noticed is sharing is a little annoying because you share with a QR code so your recipient has to scan it. They allow you to send the QR code easily inside the app, but it doesn't help much if I'm able to text a QR code to someone's phone where they then need to scan it... we ended up using facebook messenger on their computers and they scanned with their phones.

One of the wonders of the iot era that everyone can use !

Opmerkingen: For Blynk, I saw the development throughout the entire UI. I have always been a Blynk user and have recommended Blynk to everyone who works on projects or innovations related to IoT for both younger generations. Teachers and interested people Today I have my own Blynk server and always use it. I like and love Blynk because it makes me fun, challenging and more interested in the world of IoT. Blynk is a miracle of the world. I love every development team and thank you for creating Blynk. Thank you.

Pluspunten:

What I like for this software is that it is easy to use, easy to use, easy to access and learn. Is a software that covers the user from the point of reaching and controlling your various IoT devices. In my school, I use Blynk to teach my interested children. Including the use of Blynk software to create projects and innovations in order to expand education and apply in the competition until receiving a lot of praise and awards so that many people are interested in Blynk. Blynk is The ultimate software for IoT, which is considered the miracle of the IoT world.

Minpunten:

My least favorite thing is the energy system. I need to install the Blynk server myself. The installation process is quite complicated for the Linux operating system. I want the team to develop the server setup to be easy to install and install in every operating system. And want to improve Administration UI for easier server management In addition to this, I think that's great.

(Among the current best applications is Pearl Designs and Stuff)

Opmerkingen: I am one of the users of this application, and according to my experience and experience with this application, it is important and necessary that it saves the effort to do all the operations you want in a better way, and this is something that customers and students want for designs and the arcade of things on the Internet.

Pluspunten:

The Blynk app is the easiest to set up and integrate as it's easy to complete, and it has a master app programming option that can use the Blynk system with information and apps for your smart devices and can use the dashboard for basic tasks .

Minpunten:

The program has some flaws, they may not be many, but they are many, and they are summarized in the delay that occurs in matters interested in responding to the client or the client and looking into this aspect to solve the obstacles and improve the image of the program for the beneficiaries .

Blynk has a solution for every iOT project we wanted to to do

Opmerkingen: Currently I'm not doing business related software with Blynk. However, easy 'surfing' with many different kind of projects may lead to an application that is suitable for business use.

Pluspunten:

Blynk has offered easily adaptable and working solution for every iOT project we wanted to do. There has been many very different kind of projects done in our iOT experiment group. Application examples are Home Automation, Robot Control, Voice control, Model Train Control, Music Players control and many more. Blynk has offered a nice UI solution for every project we have done.

Minpunten:

The amazing Blynk Forum is the best software related forum I have been visiting. There is an answer for every question and even for questions that are not Blynk related. People are asking for example help for how to write programs for Arduino etc. That means there is too much 'garbage' in Blynk Forum website.

Fantastic IoT System

Opmerkingen: I've used Blynk as my home automation control system, in association with Node-Red. Al of my smart home devices are controlled via the Blynk app, and it's proven 100% reliable.

Pluspunten:

It's simple and easy to create your own flexible app layouts in both iOS and Android and get them working with your hardware in just a few minutes. You can get started for free then if you want your apps to be a bot more complex you can either install your own local Blynk server and continue for free, or use the Blynk cloud servers for a small one-off payment add more app elements (widgets). A Node-Red plug-in is available with Blynk, which makes integration with other systems very easy. Great community support forum.

Minpunten:

The iOS has a few missing features (mostly due to restrictions imposed by Apple), but its still extremely usable.

A great tool for prototyping on the fly!

Opmerkingen: Blynk is helping me build applications with hardware to monitor gardens, monitor indoor temperature, and a centralized open/closed vent system. It cuts out the need to develop software for prototypes or even full fledged products. It is great tool to have for beginners and experts.

Pluspunten:

I like the modularity of the application. The ease of use makes building prototypes very simple and quick. The fact that I can take my idea to prototype within minutes allows me to focus more on the project itself rather than a functional prototype. The ability to send my finished product, built in Blynk, to others is a great feature. I can build the hardware and send the application to the users phone.

Minpunten:

I would like the superchart to have a graph of some kind to help determine the level more accurately.

Blynk - IOT easy-mode IOT prototyping

Opmerkingen: My experience with Blynk so far has been limited to prototyping, but it has been positive. There are a few things that I wanted to do that I was unable to accomplish with Blynk, but I was willing to live without those for the benefit of not needing to write my mobile application from scratch. I would not take Blynk into production though, primarily due to the security concerns.

Pluspunten:

Blynk's strengths are its relative ease of use and its wide support for IOT platforms. In addition, Blynk solves the problem of needing to develop a mobile application for your IOT solution, which is great for prototyping (and even moving beyond prototyping).

Minpunten:

In this case, Blynk's strengths tie into its weaknesses. It is easy to use, but difficult to accomplish more specialized tasks. It supports many platforms, requiring that it cover the least common denominator. Documentation could be greatly improved -- in particular, lower-level API and protocol documentation that would assist in getting more advanced use cases off of the ground. Finally, security is a big concern with Blynk. I understand that IoT solutions are low-powered and that encryption is not necessarily top of mind, but it needs to be; a platform as ubiquitous as Blynk should have easy-to-use support for encrypted transit between the device and the server; in particular using common crypto accelerators such as the ATECC508A.

Easy to learn it

Opmerkingen: I realized a lot of blynk projects with Arduino and esp devices with all kind of communication: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, GSM, always with success and riable.
Even the choice to build your personal blynk server was a great thing when you Don does not have access to the Internet.
Summing in few words: great platform

Pluspunten:

I was a Newby in C coding and I needed something cheap and versatile to test our products all around the world with real-time feedback and control. Blynk was the right choice among others - Reliable - many functions - And a great community to help

Minpunten:

Honestly, nothing much to say about that. The only thing that I missed most was a browser interface that others may have.

Using Blynk for quite some times

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

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

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

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

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.
