Update. Blynk is now working …
Things I did:
1. I purchase Blynk energy and redid my Blynk QR Code using the latest QR scan found in Github repo
2. Downgraded firmware to V 1.0.7
3. rebooted arduino at the device itself – it beeped with a 4 sound sequence and then eventually stopped beeping. I was expecting it to revert to AP mode, but it didn’t. It simply rebooted. Once I did this, Blynk started working again.

So I will monitor this going forward. I hope that this will remain stable.

Hi Ray,

I use an Android Version 8.1.0 on a Nexus 5 and my apps and Blynk are updated quite frequently (I don’t update automatically, but typically weekly).

I am very glad to hear that it is stable for you. It gives me some hope that I can make this reliable. I use the internet hosted Blynk version, and it simply has never been consistently reliable as I mentioned. And it’s just dead in the water at the moment. I have validated the Blynk token several times and updated OG with the token. I would even consider running Blynk locally on a Rasberry PI if that would be better and reliable, but I need some guidance on making this work. I like to tinker, but I am far from a programmer.

OK .. now it seems to work. I discovered the problem. The “automation – notify me” check box must be checked. I never noticed this under the previous version. All is well now. Thanks. Very cool product.

I did that .. BLYNK is working .. it senses distances and changes when it senses “open” vs “closed”… but it doesn’t send that change status to my android phone. When I was using V 1.0.4, all this worked. Since I upgraded to V 1.0.5, all seems to work, (I can activate the relay, etc. and it senses distances etc) but it just doesn’t send a notification to my phone. It could be BLYNK .. I am sure I upgraded that too … I’m at a loss.

Yes thanks .. I figured that out after I posted.

When you say OpenGarage app, are you referring to the firmware? I just updated my OpenGarage firmware to V 1.0.5. I am using Blynk as my cloud/mobile app. I noticed that the Blynk push notifications stopped working. When the garage state changes (open to closed) with ver 1.0.4, Blynk sent a notification to my phone indicating such. Now, however, this feature stopped working. Is this related to the firmware upgrade

thank you for the information.
