Blynk Cloud

Introduction:
Blynk was designed for the Internet of Things. It can control hardware remotely, it can display
sensor data, it can store data, visualize it and do many other cool things.
Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes
over the Internet. It's a digital dashboard where you can build a graphic interface for your project
by simply dragging and dropping widgets. It's really simple to set everything up and you'll start
tinkering in less than 5 mins. Blynk is not tied to some specific board or shield. Instead, it's
supporting hardware of your choice. Whether your Arduino or Raspberry Pi is linked to the
Internet over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or this new ESP8266 chip, Blynk will get you online and ready for
the Internet Of Your Things.

Fig: Blynk app Overview


There are three major components in the platform:

 Blynk App - allows to you create amazing interfaces for your projects using various widgets
we provide.
 Blynk Server - responsible for all the communications between the Smartphone and
hardware. You can use our Blynk Cloud or run your private Blynk server locally. Its open-
source, could easily handle thousands of devices and can even be launched on a Raspberry Pi.
 Blynk Libraries - for all the popular hardware platforms - enable communication with the
server and process all the incoming and out coming commands.

Now imagine: every time you press a Button in the Blynk app, the message travels to the Blynk
Cloud, where it magically finds its way to your hardware. It works the same in the opposite
direction and everything happens in a blynk of an eye.
