ESP8266 Timed Button (Mimic a button press for a duration)

[PeteKnight]

Firstly, you need to edit your post (using the pencil icon at the bottom of the post) and format the code correctly, so that it displays correctly:

Second,my using delay(3000); is very bad practice in Blynk. Whilst you might get away with it sometimes, you’ll almost certainly suffer disconnections if you use it regularly.
What you should do is to trigger a countdown timer of duration 3000 instead.

Take a look at this thread:

Avoid Delay

Look at using timeout timers instead of delay() void DoSomethingNow() { // do stuff now timer.setTimeout(30000, DoSomethingLater); // will run this function in 30 seconds } void DoSomethingLater() { // do the later stuff } https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/SimpleTimer#Functions
