Hi. I want to move from Arduino to MicroPython, which does a great job with IoT. Much simpler to handle APIs, JSON etc. I have sensors and lights at home connected to a local Blynk server on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, (Google Assistant via IFTTT). Everything on the Arduino works, but I want to reorganise it a bit as it has grown a lot and I'm starting to get lost. I want to add a base etc and do it with Python, as I know it is for IoT a better language. But I have a problem. With MicroPython on esp32, there is no problem connecting to Blynk on blynk-cloud.com (I used the library: https://github.com/lemariva/uPyBlynk and everything works fine). I tried the original library https://github.com/blynkkk/lib-python, it would connect, but would break the connection. I didn't look for the cause because I don't care about the public Blynk. I care about the local Blynk server. Question: have any of you run any sensor on esp32 or esp8266 with MicroPython 1.8.0 and connected to Blynk local? If so, I'd very much appreciate a recipe, a library that makes this possible. My rummaging through existing ones, swapping host to local and ports has yielded nothing but frustration;) Greetings all.
