delay()/millis() issue is core to keeping Blynk projects working well

Actually the BlynkTimer (which does use millis) is the best way for Blynk. Avoid delay() as it actually stops ALL processing for the set time.

Use a timeout timer, set for whatever time you need. I use them all the “time” for blinking things, timed relays, etc.

C++ Blynk (Legacy) - Code Examples for Basic Tasks

#12 - Timers simplified… perhaps… Some have a difficult time understanding timers… and since this is a fundamental building block of Blynk… I buried this reference in the middle of this entire topic Well anyhow… This is a “real world” timer example where i am using two timers to alternately turn ON and OFF an LED… yes, there are many ways to do this, but this example is all about timers. The first timer will run it’s assigned function 500ms (1/2 second) after boo…

I know this is not a strictly Blynk issue, but I get far more useful, helpful and meaningful response in this community

Probably becasue we regulate it to only Blynk related issues as much as possible hint
