Story

Ideation

In a post of this community I read about an unofficial library, but had not detailed steps, so I decided to write this tutorial step by step, with images and code included so that you can connect a Photon to Cayenne. The truth is that this library is still not very worked as Arduino library, but taking certain considerations you can achieve connect smoothly.

Thanks for reading...don't forget to respect this ;)

#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial
#include "cayenne-particle/cayenne-particle.h"

char auth[] = "nezswd70wi";
int ledPin = D6;
int virtualPin = 1;

void setup()
{
    pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
    Serial.begin(9600);
    delay(5000); // Allow board to settle
    Blynk.begin(auth);
}



BLYNK_WRITE(V1){
  // get value sent from dashboard
  int currentValue = param.asInt(); // 0 to 1
  // assuming you wire your relay as normally open
  if (currentValue == 1) { 
      digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else { 
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
}


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