2. your BLYNK_WRITE(V1) command has no if statement to make it perform different actions when the button is turned on and off. Look at the “Bring it all together” section of this post to see how to do that:

Using Virtual Pins to control physical devices

I’d always recommend using virtual pins over physical pins when developing your code. There are a number of reasons, but here are what I consider to be the main ones: Virtual pins are hardware independent. This means that it’s far easier to port your code from one hardware platform to another in future (when you realise…
