Doubt about how to use Time Input Widget and Numeric Input

Hello guys
I have few questions about how work the Time Input Widget and Numeric Input Widget.
First, the Time Input Widget.
Basically, how can I save the state of the Time Input (For example, selecting in the UI 15:30) and then put that state in a value (Something like: time = Time Input State (15:30 in this case);
Second, the Numeric Input Widget.
I want to do something like the Time Input, but in this case, how can I save the state of the Numeric Input (For example: selecting in the UI the number 10) and also put that state in a value (Something like: number = Numeric Input State (10, in this case;).
Thank you in advance

Read this…

This one, while still undocumented, is a basic value parameter command…

EG. Input widget set to V0

BLYNK_WRITE(V0)
{   
  int value = param.asInt(); // Get value as integer... or...
  // float value = param.asFloat(); // Get value as float, if using decimals.
  Serial.print(" The value is: ");
  Serial.println(value);
}

If you want to use the variable “value” outside of this function, then set it up as a global variable…

Note: The widget itself has multiple input options, an incremental or decremental value step (the value adjustable in the settings) or a direct value input.

I tried to use this code:

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp32.h>
#include <WidgetRTC.h>

BlynkTimer timer;

char auth[] = "xxxxx";

char ssid[] = "xxxxx";
char pass[] = "xxxxx";

char currentTime[9];
char startTime[9];
char stopTime[9];
int SThour;
int STmin;
int STsec;
int SPhour;
int SPmin;
int SPsec;

WidgetRTC rtc;  // Set RTC widget.

void setup()
{
  pinMode(2, OUTPUT);  // Built-in LED
  digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // Turn OFF built-in LED
  Serial.begin(115200);  // Debug console
  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  rtc.begin();
  setSyncInterval(360);
  timer.setInterval(30000L, TimeCheck);  // Update Time Check every 30 seconds
}



BLYNK_CONNECTED() {
  Blynk.syncVirtual(V1); //  Synchronize Time Input Widget when connected
  TimeCheck(); // Initial Time Check
}


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



BLYNK_WRITE(V1) {  // Called whenever setting Time Input Widget
  TimeInputParam t(param);
  SThour = t.getStartHour();
  STmin = t.getStartMinute();
  STsec = t.getStartSecond();
  SPhour = t.getStopHour();
  SPmin = t.getStopMinute();
  SPsec = t.getStopSecond();
}



void TimeCheck() {  // call with timer every 30 seconds or so
  // Get RTC time
  sprintf(currentTime, "%02d:%02d:%02d", hour(), minute(), second());
  Serial.print("Current Time: ");
  Serial.println(currentTime);

  // Get Time Input Widget time
  sprintf(startTime, "%02d:%02d:%02d", SThour, STmin, STsec);
  Serial.print("Start Time: ");
  Serial.println(startTime);

  sprintf(startTime, "%02d:%02d:%02d", SPhour, SPmin, SPsec);
  Serial.print("Stop Time: ");
  Serial.println(startTime);

  if (hour() == SThour) {
    if (minute() == STmin) {
      Serial.println("Doing something now");
      digitalWrite(2, LOW); // Turn ON built-in LED
    } else if (minute() < STmin) {
      Serial.println("Will do something");
    } else if (minute() > STmin) {
      Serial.println("Did something");
    } else {
      Serial.println("Clueless");
    }
  }

  if (hour() == SPhour) {
    if (minute() == SPmin) {
      Serial.println("Stopping something now");
      digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // Turn OFF built-in LED
    } else if (minute() < SPmin) {
      Serial.println("Will stop something");
    } else if (minute() > SPmin) {
      Serial.println("Stopped something");
    } else {
      Serial.println("Clueless");
    }
  }
  Serial.println("----------");
}

But the Serial Monitor show me this:

Why this happen?
Of course the Time Input Widget is in V1 in my Blynk App, and I already add the RTC Widget

In your code you have set Serial to 115200 baud but in your serial monitor you have it set to 9600 :wink:

Serial.begin(115200);  // Debug console
