@Nitheesh_Mohan look through all the items marked with // COSTAS to see what you were missing out. Tested here and all fine on a WeMos D1 Mini Pro.

Few changes done by me:

  1. SPI.H is not needed for ESP’s
  2. 115200 baud is generally fine for ESP’s
  3. Must wait for Blynk to be connected or RTC may be skipped until next 5 minute cycle
  4. the 2 sprintf statements are important
  5. Vital you have #define BLYNK_PRINT Serial for debugging unless you are a perfect coder
  6. Recommend you define pins rather than using “16” as you only have one line of code to change if you want to change the pin.
