Do you use latest library now? Advanced example? TimeInputParam? This is what I get :

Don’t forget - you need to select at least 1 day.
Why are you getting 0, surely Kiev is not 0.
I have downloaded 0.3.9 but not set it up yet.
My bad. This output before app update. Updated comment.
@Dmitriy TZ wasn’t in the old library but it is in 0.3.9. All fine and thanks for the fix.

[98177] Time sync: OKSerial Monitor output for the following sketch:
TimeInput set as ON time 11:20 and OFF time as 11:25. Initially without Wednesday enabled and then enabled just prior to 11:20. Confirmed with LED on between 11:20 and 11:25.
The important lines in the code are:
65 compare Time library days of the week (Day 1 is Sunday) with Blynk days of the week (Day 1 is Monday). So -1 deducted from Time library day.
90 and 104 has a 90s window to check the current time with the 60s SimpleTimer interval to ensure the relay is turned ON and OFF just once at the start and stop times.

}@Dmitriy with TimeInput set as ON at 20:00 and OFF at 21:00 I am getting the following results with AdvancedTimeInput and server 0.18.2

Timezone offset has disappeared again and the Start and Stop times are not being adjusted for the Timezones.
Tried that, no joy.
Tried 0.18.0, no joy either.
Seems like outdated app…
Yours.
You were right, I do that much with Droid4X these days I had forgotten to upgrade to version 15.2 on my actual phone.
Can you confirm that there are currently no widgets that allow users to paste text into a “field”.
Just terminal If I understood you correctly.
I thought I tried in Terminal but I’ll try again.
@Dmitriy I tried to paste to Terminal on my Samsung S3 and the only option I have is to enter text from the pop up keyboard. Paste works in other apps.
I have tried this example. When I change the time zone the t.getStartHour and t.getStopHour is always UTC time.
nowseconds = ((hour() * 3600) + (minute() * 60) + second()); this is the correct time zone.
How do I get the two in the same time zone?

@BSlaght do you have the RTC widget in your Project?
Perhaps post your sketch and your project. Maybe the sketch we posted doesn’t like AM / PM used in America and for test purposes you could try to use the 24 hour clock to see if that helps.
I have reached the max the number of pictures I can upload upload.
I am using the iPhone App
I have RTC on V0
Time Input to V1
Changed to the 24 hour clock.
Set start to 15:56
Set Stop to 15:59
