Table of Contents

Important Note

This BlynkGSM_Manager has just been modified to create the new Blynk_Async_GSM_Manager in order to use the better and more efficient ESPAsyncWebServer Library, instead of the (ESP8266)WebServer library.

The new Blynk_Async_GSM_Manager is based on and sync'ed with BlynkGSM_Manager. Therefore, all the features currently supported by this BlynkGSM_Manager will be available to the new library. The code change is to port to the new library is also very negligible, mostly just changing the include file from BlynkSimpleEsp32_GSM_xyz.h to BlynkSimpleEsp32_GSM_Async_xyz.h.

Why do we need the new Async Blynk_Async_GSM_Manager library

  • Using asynchronous network means that you can handle more than one connection at the same time
  • You are called once the request is ready and parsed
  • When you send the response, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the server is taking care of sending the response in the background
  • Speed is OMG
  • Easy to use API, HTTP Basic and Digest MD5 Authentication (default), ChunkedResponse
  • Easily extensible to handle any type of content
  • Supports Continue 100
  • Async WebSocket plugin offering different locations without extra servers or ports
  • Async EventSource (Server-Sent Events) plugin to send events to the browser
  • URL Rewrite plugin for conditional and permanent url rewrites
  • ServeStatic plugin that supports cache, Last-Modified, default index and more
  • Simple template processing engine to handle templates

Why do we need this BlynkGSM_Manager library

Features

By design, Blynk user can run ESP32/ESP8266 boards with either WiFi or GSM/GPRS by using different sketches, and have to upload / update firmware to change. This library enables user to include both Blynk GSM/GPRS and WiFi libraries in one sketch, run both WiFi and GSM/GPRS simultaneously, or select one to use at runtime after reboot.

This is also a Blynk and WiFiManager Library for configuring/auto(re)connecting ESP8266/ESP32 modules to the available MultiWiFi APs and MultiBlynk servers at runtime. Connection is with or without SSL. Configuration data to be saved in either LittleFS / SPIFFS or EEPROM. Default Credentials as well as Dynamic custom parameters can be added and modified easily without coding knowledge. DoubleResetDetector is used to force Config Portal opening even if the Credentials are still valid.

  • This is the new library, designed to help you eliminate hardcoding your Blynk credentials in ESP32 and ESP8266 boards using GSM shield (SIM800, SIM900, etc).

  • You can update GSM Modem and Blynk Credentials any time you need to change via Configure Portal. Data are saved in LittleFS / SPIFFS or configurable locations in EEPROM.

New recent features:

  • Optional default Credentials as well as Dynamic parameters to be optionally autoloaded into Config Portal to use or change instead of manually input.
  • Multi or Double DetectDetector feature to force Config Portal when multi or double reset is detected within predetermined time, default 10s.
  • Configurable Config Portal Title to be either HostName, BoardName or default undistinguishable names.
  • Examples are redesigned to separate Credentials / Defines / Dynamic Params / Code so that you can change Credentials / Dynamic Params quickly for each device.
  • Multiple WiFi Credentials (SSID, Password) and system will autoconnect to the best and available WiFi SSID.
  • Multiple Blynk Credentials (Server, Token) and system will autoconnect to the available Blynk Servers.

  4. Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File

Note for Platform IO using ESP32 LittleFS

In Platform IO, to fix the error when using LittleFS_esp32 v1.0 for ESP32-based boards with ESP32 core v1.0.4- (ESP-IDF v3.2-), uncomment the following line

from

//#define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_FOR_IDF_3_2   /* For old IDF - like in release 1.0.4 */

to

#define CONFIG_LITTLEFS_FOR_IDF_3_2   /* For old IDF - like in release 1.0.4 */

It's advisable to use the latest LittleFS_esp32 v1.0.5+ to avoid the issue.

Thanks to Roshan to report the issue in Error esp_littlefs.c 'utime_p'

HOWTO Use analogRead() with ESP32 running WiFi and/or BlueTooth (BT/BLE)

Please have a look at ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to have more detailed description and solution of the issue.

1. ESP32 has 2 ADCs, named ADC1 and ADC2

2. ESP32 ADCs functions

  • ADC1 controls ADC function for pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • ADC2 controls ADC function for pins GPIO0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27

3.. ESP32 WiFi uses ADC2 for WiFi functions

Look in file adc_common.c

In ADC2, there're two locks used for different cases:

  1. lock shared with app and Wi-Fi: ESP32: When Wi-Fi using the ADC2, we assume it will never stop, so app checks the lock and returns immediately if failed. ESP32S2: The controller's control over the ADC is determined by the arbiter. There is no need to control by lock.

  2. lock shared between tasks: when several tasks sharing the ADC2, we want to guarantee all the requests will be handled. Since conversions are short (about 31us), app returns the lock very soon, we use a spinlock to stand there waiting to do conversions one by one.

adc2_spinlock should be acquired first, then adc2_wifi_lock or rtc_spinlock.

  • In order to use ADC2 for other functions, we have to acquire complicated firmware locks and very difficult to do
  • So, it's not advisable to use ADC2 with WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).
  • Use ADC1, and pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • If somehow it's a must to use those pins serviced by ADC2 (GPIO0, 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 25, 26 and 27), use the fix mentioned at the end of ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to work with ESP32 WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).

Important information

Please read more information in TinyGSM Library

How to use

For ESP32 and ESP8266, in your code :

  1. Replace

    • BlynkSimpleTinyGSM.h with BlynkSimpleTinyGSM_M.h

  2. Then replace

    • Blynk.begin(wifi_blynk_tok, ssid, pass, blynk_server, BLYNK_HARDWARE_PORT) with Blynk_WF.begin("TTGO-TCALL-GSM") for WiFi
    • Blynk.xxx() with Blynk_WF.xxx() for WiFi
    • Blynk.xxx() with Blynk_GSM.xxx() for GSM/GPRS

  3. Add

  #if USE_BLYNK_WM
    #include <BlynkSimpleEsp32_GSM_WFM.h>
  #else
     #include <BlynkSimpleEsp32_GSM_WF.h>
  #endif
  1. then add
// Only for ESP8266
#define USE_LITTLEFS  true
#define USE_SPIFFS    false

to use LittleFS (for ESP8266), or

#define USE_LITTLEFS  false
#define USE_SPIFFS    true

to use SPIFFS or

#define USE_LITTLEFS  false
#define USE_SPIFFS    false

to use EEPROM. Currently, data size in v1.0.9, with DRD and not including dynamic params, is 556 bytes from address EEPROM_START ) to save your configuration data. EEPROM_SIZE can be specified from 1024 to 4096 (2048 for ESP32) bytes.

// Force some params in Blynk, only valid for library version 1.0.1 and later
#define TIMEOUT_RECONNECT_WIFI                    10000L
#define RESET_IF_CONFIG_TIMEOUT                   true
#define CONFIG_TIMEOUT_RETRYTIMES_BEFORE_RESET    5
  1. To use personalized Config Portal AP SSID and Password, as well as IP Address, channel e.g. call :
// Set config portal SSID and Password
Blynk.setConfigPortal("TestPortal-ESP32", "TestPortalPass");

// Use configurable AP IP, instead of default IP 192.168.4.1
Blynk.setConfigPortalIP(IPAddress(192, 168, 232, 1));
// Set config portal channel, default = 1. Use 0 => random channel from 1-12 to avoid conflict
Blynk_WF.setConfigPortalChannel(0);
  1. You can specify STA-mode Static IP address, Gateway, Subnet Mask, as well as DNS server 1 and 2:
// Select either one of these to set static IP + DNS
Blynk.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 232), IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 1), IPAddress(255, 255, 255, 0));
//Blynk.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 232), IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 1), IPAddress(255, 255, 255, 0),
//                           IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 1), IPAddress(8, 8, 8, 8));
//Blynk.setSTAStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 232), IPAddress(192, 168, 2, 1), IPAddress(255, 255, 255, 0),
//                           IPAddress(4, 4, 4, 4), IPAddress(8, 8, 8, 8));

  1. Change Blynk.run() for WiFi to Blynk_WF.run().

  2. Change Blynk.run() for GSM/GPRS to Blynk_GSM.run().

That's it.

HOWTO Use default Credentials and have them pre-loaded onto Config Portal

See this example and modify as necessary

1. To load Default Credentials

bool LOAD_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DATA = true;

2. To use system default to load "blank" when there is no valid Credentials

bool LOAD_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DATA = false;

4. How to add dynamic parameters from sketch

  • To add custom parameters, just modify the example below
#if USE_BLYNK_WM

  #define USE_DYNAMIC_PARAMETERS      true
  
  /////////////// Start dynamic Credentials ///////////////
  
  //Defined in <BlynkSimpleEsp32_GSM_WFM.h>
  /**************************************
    #define MAX_ID_LEN                5
    #define MAX_DISPLAY_NAME_LEN      16
  
    typedef struct
    {
    char id             [MAX_ID_LEN + 1];
    char displayName    [MAX_DISPLAY_NAME_LEN + 1];
    char *pdata;
    uint8_t maxlen;
    } MenuItem;
  **************************************/
  
  #if USE_DYNAMIC_PARAMETERS
  
  #define MAX_MQTT_SERVER_LEN      34
  char MQTT_Server  [MAX_MQTT_SERVER_LEN + 1]   = "mqtt.ddns.net";
  
  #define MAX_MQTT_PORT_LEN        6
  char MQTT_Port   [MAX_MQTT_PORT_LEN + 1]  = "1883";
  
  #define MAX_MQTT_USERNAME_LEN      34
  char MQTT_UserName  [MAX_MQTT_USERNAME_LEN + 1]   = "mqtt-user";
  
  #define MAX_MQTT_PW_LEN        34
  char MQTT_PW   [MAX_MQTT_PW_LEN + 1]  = "mqtt-pass";
  
  #define MAX_MQTT_SUBS_TOPIC_LEN      34
  char MQTT_SubsTopic  [MAX_MQTT_SUBS_TOPIC_LEN + 1]   = "SubTopic_ESP32_GSM";
  
  #define MAX_MQTT_PUB_TOPIC_LEN       34
  char MQTT_PubTopic   [MAX_MQTT_PUB_TOPIC_LEN + 1]  = "PubTopic_ESP32_GSM";
  
  MenuItem myMenuItems [] =
  {
    { "mqtt", "MQTT Server",      MQTT_Server,      MAX_MQTT_SERVER_LEN },
    { "mqpt", "Port",             MQTT_Port,        MAX_MQTT_PORT_LEN   },
    { "user", "MQTT UserName",    MQTT_UserName,    MAX_MQTT_USERNAME_LEN },
    { "mqpw", "MQTT PWD",         MQTT_PW,          MAX_MQTT_PW_LEN },
    { "subs", "Subs Topics",      MQTT_SubsTopic,   MAX_MQTT_SUBS_TOPIC_LEN },
    { "pubs", "Pubs Topics",      MQTT_PubTopic,    MAX_MQTT_PUB_TOPIC_LEN },
  };
  
  uint16_t NUM_MENU_ITEMS = sizeof(myMenuItems) / sizeof(MenuItem);  //MenuItemSize;
  
  #else
  
  MenuItem myMenuItems [] = {};
  
  uint16_t NUM_MENU_ITEMS = 0;
  #endif
  
  
  /////// // End dynamic Credentials ///////////

#endif    // #if USE_BLYNK_WM

5. If you don't need to add dynamic parameters

Use the following code snippet in sketch

#define USE_DYNAMIC_PARAMETERS     false

or

/////////////// Start dynamic Credentials ///////////////

MenuItem myMenuItems [] = {};

uint16_t NUM_MENU_ITEMS = 0;
/////// // End dynamic Credentials ///////////

Important Notes for using Dynamic Parameters' ids

  1. These ids (such as "mqtt" in example) must be unique.

Please be noted that the following reserved names are already used in library:

"id"    for WiFi SSID
"pw"    for WiFi PW
"id1"   for WiFi1 SSID
"pw1"   for WiFi1 PW
"apn"   for GPRS/GSM apn
"usr"   for GPRS/GSM user
"pwd"   for GPRS/GSM password
"pin"   for GPRS/GSM pin
"sv"    for Blynk Server
"wtk"   for Blynk WiFi Token
"gtk"   for Blynk GPRS/GSM Token
"sv1"   for Blynk Server1
"wtk1"  for Blynk WiFi Token1
"gtk1"  for Blynk GPRS/GSM Token1
"pt"    for Blynk Port
"nm"    for Board Name

Important notes

  1. Now you can use special chars such as ~, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, _, -, space,etc..
  2. The SSIDs, Passwords, BlynkServers and Tokens must be input (or to make them different from blank). Otherwise, the Config Portal will re-open until those fields have been changed. If you don't need any field, just input anything or use duplicated data from similar field.
  3. WiFi password max length now is 63 chars according to WPA2 standard. Minimum password length is 8 chars.
  4. Sometimes, it's hard or not possible to connect to Config Portal WiFi AP, the majority cases are caused by WiFi channel conflict if there are too many WiFi APs running around. Please use random ConfigPortal WiFi AP channel in sketch (see code snippet below) and reset the board so that another channel is used. Repeat until connection is OK
// Set config portal channel, default = 1. Use 0 => random channel from 1-13 to avoid conflict
  Blynk_WF.setConfigPortalChannel(0);

Why using this BlynkGSM_Manager with MultiWiFi-MultiBlynk features

You can see that the system automatically detects and connects to the best or avaiable WiFi APs and/or Blynk Servers, whenever interruption happens. This feature is very useful for systems requiring high degree of reliability.

Moreover, this Blynk_WF.begin() is not a blocking call, so you can use it for critical functions requiring in loop().

Anyway, this is better for projects using Blynk just for GUI (graphical user interface).

In operation, if WiFi or Blynk connection is lost, Blynk_WF.run() will try reconnecting automatically. Therefore, Blynk_WF.run() must be called in the loop() function. Don't use:

void loop()
{
  if (Blynk.connected())
     Blynk_WF.run();
     
  ...
}

just

void loop()
{
  Blynk_WF.run();
  ...
}

Examples

  1. TTGO_TCALL_GSM
  2. ESP32_GSM
  3. ESP8266_GSM
  4. TTGO_TCALL_SHT3x
  5. ESP32_GSM_SHT3x
  6. ESP8266_GSM_SHT3x
  7. TTGO_TCALL_MRD_GSM
  8. ESP32_MRD_GSM
  9. ESP8266_MRD_GSM

So, how it works?

If it detects no valid stored Credentials or it cannot connect to the Blynk server in 30 seconds, it will switch to Configuration Mode. You will see your built-in LED turned ON. In Configuration Mode, it starts a WiFi access point called ESP_xxxxxx. Connect to it using password MyESP_xxxxxx.

You can set:

  1. static Config Portal IP address by using Blynk_WF.setConfigPortalIP(IPAddress(xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx))
  2. random Config Portal WiFi channel by using Blynk_WF.setConfigPortalChannel(0)
  3. selected Config Portal WiFi channel by using Blynk_WF.setConfigPortalChannel(channel)
  4. selected Config Portal SSID and Password by using Blynk_WF.setConfigPortal("PortalSSID", "PortalPass")

After you connected, go to http://192.168.4.1., the Browser will display the following page:

Enter your credentials (WiFi SSID/Password/WiFi-Token, GPRS APN/User/Pass/PIN, Blynk Server/Port/GSM-Token).

Then click Save. After the board auto-restarted, you will see if it's connected to your Blynk server successfully.

This Blynk.begin() is not a blocking call, so you can use it for critical functions requiring in loop(). Anyway, this is better for projects using Blynk just for GUI (graphical user interface).

In operation, if GSM/GPRS or Blynk connection is lost, Blynk_WF.run() or Blynk_GSM.run() will try reconnecting automatically. Therefore, Blynk_WF.run() Blynk_GSM.run() and must be called in the loop() function. Don't use:

void loop()
{
  if (Blynk.connected())
     Blynk_WF.run();
     
  ...
}

just

void loop()
{
  Blynk_WF.run();
  ...
}

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial.

You can also change the debugging level from 0 to 4

#define BLYNK_PRINT        Serial

#define BLYNK_WM_DEBUG     3

#define USING_MRD          true

#if USING_MRD
  #define MULTIRESETDETECTOR_DEBUG        true 
#else
  #define DOUBLERESETDETECTOR_DEBUG       false
#endif

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of the core for Arduino boards.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the board core to the latest version because I am using newly added functions.

Issues

Submit issues to: BlynkGSM_Manager issues

TO DO

  1. Same features for other boards with GSM/GPRS shield as well as other GSM/GPRS shields (SIM7x00, etc.).

DONE

  1. Permit EEPROM size and location configurable to avoid conflict with others.
  2. More flexible to configure reconnection timeout.
  3. For fresh config data, don't need to wait for connecting timeout before entering config portal.
  4. If the config data not entered completely (APN, GPRS User, GPRS Pass, Server, HardwarePort and Blynk token), entering config portal
  5. Better Cofig Portal GUI
  6. WiFi Password max length is 63, according to WPA2 standard.
  7. Permit to input special chars such as % and # into data fields.
  8. Add Dynamic Custom Parameters with checksum
  9. Add function to configure AP Channel (fixed or random) to avoid channel conflict.
  10. Default Credentials and dynamic parameters
  11. DoubleDetectDetector to force Config Portal when double reset is detected within predetermined time, default 10s.
  12. Configurable Config Portal Title
  13. Re-structure all examples to separate Credentials / Defines / Dynamic Params / Code so that you can change Credentials / Dynamic Params quickly for each device.
  14. Add LittleFS support to ESP8266 as SPIFFS deprecated since ESP8266 core 2.7.1.
  15. Add LittleFS support to ESP32 using LITTLEFS Library.
  16. Add support to MultiDetectDetector and MRD-related examples
  17. Clean-up all compiler warnings possible.
  18. Add Table of Contents
  19. Add Version String
  20. Add functions to control Config Portal from software or Virtual Switches.
