Hi dears.
Bridge widget doesn’t work in blynk 2.0.
Are there any new conditions or parameters in the new bridging blynk?
BR,
Artem.
Hello. You can use automations instead. Automations are replacements for Timer, TimeInput, Eventor, and Bridge widgets. Docs - Automations - Blynk Documentation.

Yes, but before I have to register devices for $4.99 each in the free plan, right?
Artem.
Yes, $4.99 each devices , I have 9 devices 
Maybe one day we will have a package with 20 devices for only $10 
@Blynk_Coeur we will definitely add free devices to the most active members of the forum. As many as you need.

Not very easy to move old project to blynk V2
I got some problems , can’t find how to get time and date, don’t know how to bridge 2 MCU.
And how to bridge 
- Open the app
- Go to automations tab
- And you’ll see it all by yourself
I did, but nothing to see with how to get time and date, no more with how to bridge MCU.
Dimitri,
I tried following the link for the documentation you provided and there is a dead-end. No docs found, can you please correct as I would like to see the docs.
Hi, in the previous version I used widget bridge to send a virtual value from one device to another showing it on the display, what can I do with the new version?
Thanks.
Pete.

Replacing Bridge widgets.
I’ve seen a couple of good posts on this, so here is my current go-to routine for “getting” and “updating” Blynk Datastreams on other devices. It is more powerful than the old Bridge Widget in that you both can send and receive data from other Blynk devices. It’s fast, too, for ESP8266 and ESP32… just don’t try to use HTTPS if you’re in a hurry. (This code uses HTTP, not HTTPS for that reason.) And yes, kill the Serial.prints once you see how it works.
It’s written for ESP32 and ESP8266 only.
Hope this is helpful to someone. All comments welcome.
