Can't turn on a virtual LED

Need Help With My Project

I fixed the SimpleTimer and I’m now using this code:

//#define BLYNK_USE_DIRECT_CONNECT
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

// You could use a spare Hardware Serial on boards that have it (like Mega)
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial DebugSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX

#define BLYNK_PRINT DebugSerial
#include <BlynkSimpleSerialBLE.h>


#include <SimpleTimer.h>

char auth[] = "396bef6a49a54b3ab4a48f07bac5aeba";

WidgetLED led1(V1);

// the timer object
SimpleTimer timer;

// a function to be executed periodically
void repeatMe() {
    Serial.print("Uptime (s): ");
    Serial.println(millis() / 1000);

  if (led1.getValue()) {
    led1.off();
    Serial.println("LED on V1: off");
  } else {
    led1.on();
    Serial.println("LED on V1: on");
  }
}

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
    Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);
    timer.setInterval(1000, repeatMe);
}

void loop() {
    Blynk.run();
    timer.run();
}

The serial monitor is giving me this:

LED on V1: on
Uptime (s): 76
LED on V1: off
Uptime (s): 77
LED on V1: on
Uptime (s): 78
LED on V1: off
Uptime (s): 79
LED on V1: on
 396bef6a49a54b3ab4a48f07bac5aebaUptime (s): 80
LED on V1: off
Uptime (s): 81
LED on V1: on
Uptime (s): 82
LED on V1: off
Uptime (s): 83
LED on V1: on
Uptime (s): 84
LED on V1: off
 396bef6a49a54b3ab4a48f07bac5aebaUptime (s): 85
LED on V1: on
Uptime (s): 86
LED on V1: off
Uptime (s): 87
LED on V1: on
Uptime (s): 88
LED on V1: off

It seems that commenting out “#define BLYNK_USE_DIRECT_CONNECT” allows me to see this on the serial monitor.

However the virtual LED is still not blinking for some reason, despite it’s value clearly changing.
