Blynk appears to be a fairly put-together library for not only hooking up any Arduino or esp8266 to a phone through WiFi, but also through the net if desired. Install the app onto your iPhone or ...

esp8266-blynk-led-control Control two LEDs remotely using ESP8266 board through both the Blynk Web Dashboard and the Mobile App.

This IoT project uses the Blynk platform and ESP32 (NodeMCU-ESP8266 module) to simulate and control a traffic light system. Users can remotely monitor and operate the system via a mobile app or ...

You do need to set up the Arduino IDE to build for the ESP8266. That can vary by board, but here’s the instructions for the board I was using (from Adafruit; see below).

This paper presents the design and implementation of an automatic crop irrigation system based on a NodeMcu ESP8266 microcontroller integrated with the Blynk platform. The system is designed to water ...

The ESP8266 module comes with a Firmware pre-loaded into it. This Firmware can be used to communicate to the ESP8266 module via AT commands. But, if we use the Arduino IDE this firmware will be over ...
