My hardware constantly disconnected
There are multiple reasons why your hardware could be disconnected. In order to eliminate some obvious reasons, please do the next:
Run
ping blynk.cloud. If your connection is good you should see the ping less than 200ms. If you see the higher ping it could be a reason for disconnectionsIn case your hardware uses Wi-Fi - check your Wi-Fi signal strength, and make sure there is no other noise that case decrease the signal level
Make sure you don't use
delay()instructions in your firmware, long delay in your sketch can break the persistent connection with Blynk CloudCheckout your serial console output, make sure it doesn't contain crashes or other error that may lead to connection interrupts
Make sure you don't send a huge number of virtualWrite commands per seconds. Blynk Cloud doesn't allow to send more than 20 requests per seconds. Connections that exceeds the limit are closed
