So is it too hard to start a timer as a switch (widget) via the blynk app that switches pin 13 off after the time has elapsed?

No, it’s very simple - using a timeout timer as I said before.

See the Timeout Timers section of this guide…

Using BlynkTimer or SimpleTimer

Many users seem to struggle with the basic concepts of using BlynkTimer in their projects, despite the excellent discussions and tutorials that exist on this forum, so I thought I’d write a guide that will hopefully help clarify things. It’s rather long, as it attempts to explain the reasoning behind why and how we use timers, and covers some more advanced subjects, but I’ve tried to organise it in a way that helps people to find answers to specific questions… Why use a timer at all? Let’s say …
