Have a question regarding xenon interface to a Blynk, I can not get the xenon to communicate with blynk, thru the argon, Yet I can flash the same program to the argon and it will work, is there a trick or way to be able to program directly to the xenon to interface with Blynk, can you please have…

Hey Mike! I read this post the other day. There are some limitations that might get in the way: [image] Using Blynk with Particle Mesh Devices General If you are using Particle Mesh devices with Blynk here are a few things that might help to know… First, Blynk works grea…

From what I understand, getting things worked out between Particle and Blynk where the Xenon will be able to communicate directly with Blynk is something on the radar but is on the back burner at the moment. The engineers have their hands full with ironing out the stability with the mesh devices. …

thanks very helpful, I was thinking just a mesh publish subscribe and use the argon as the main interface, but wanted to leave that argon with not to much programming on its end want it to mainly just be the gateway to the outside world. oh well guess my options are limited either use the argon an…

thanks for the insight, you using mesh publish and subscribe and bringing in the blynk info into the argon , if so how are you pub sub in with a mesh pub sub or a particle pub sub. just wondering whats working best for someone who is already ran into this issue and resolved it somewhat.

@fisvii I posted demo code here for using a Xenon with Blynk in a mesh network using Publish/Subscribe. https://community.particle.io/t/using-blynk-with-particle-mesh-devices/49775

@TimGTech , with the latest update to Device OS, is there an updated solution for Xenon to communicate directly with Blynk?

Only if you are using an ethernet featherwing on the Xenon board.

@TimGTech , Thanks. I thought of two possible scenarios: Argon is acting as an edge router communicating on BLE with Xenon and communicating on WiFi with(and cellular or Internet router) with Blynk Cloud Xenon is communicating with my phone running Blynk and my phone communicates with Blynk Cloud. …

In any case, communication with the Blynk cloud (or a personally hosted Blynk server) happens via an HTTP call, which by nature happens over TCP. Unless the Xenon is used with the Ethernet Featherwing shield, it is not currently capable of TCP networking, only UDP. One thing to consider would be do…

@addisonwk Thanks. I need to study more how Particle system works. I had an impression that BLE is not an IP protocol (except 6LoWPAN over BLE, which is probably not used by Particle). What version of BLE is used on Particle devices? I saw some examples of using Xenon to communicate with smartphone…
