node-red-contrib-blynk

Blynk app integration with Node Red

This contrib will no longer be updated. Please use the websockets version.

Websockets version

Due to some reliability issues reported by some users, together with some new features added by the Blynk team, I started another version of this based on websockets. https://github.com/tzapu/node-red-contrib-blynk-websockets

Normal Blynk Protocol version

If you installed Node Red globally use this to install npm install --global node-red-contrib-blynk

Supports both SSL, non SSL connections to blynk-cloud.com and local server.
