Hehe… your issue wasn’t a Blynk problem… just “too much too fast” causing disconnection.

Interesting results… I will add this to my “weird things to do with Blynk” studies :+1:

yes Gunner,
it’s not realy a blynk issue.
but there’s no issue with virtual LEDs.
I tried with different timers.
1000, 2000 , 3000, same issue when there is more than 4 styled buttons.
I assume it’s due to short delay between each blynk instructions. so it’s not possible to blink more than 4 buttons at same time.

try it and forward me your experience.
