Help needed to migrate a very basic project from the old blynk app

Need Help With My Project
1

hello dear fellas,

i have created a very basic app that i use for watering by garden.
a single I/O pin is triggered by the app, on/off using two methods that work simultaneous:

  • a timer - on pin GP14 for on and off
  • a switch button for the same GP14 pin

both action use the same pin and they are synched. (in the sense that if timer is on, i can push the button and switch off the system) Also, i can decide to open/close the circuit (water my garden) with the switch outside the timer window.

unfortunately, with the new app, i can not assign GP14 to both a button and a timer.
could anyone help me please with a suggestion?

I assume that when you say GP pins you are referring to GPIO (digital) pins?

My advice would be to use virtual datastreams in Blynk IoT.

You can try automation

thanks for the automation suggestion!
will i be able to manipulate the datastream also outside of the automation?
say: i will automate daily watering in the morning but want at a push of a button to enable the watering again.

It’s possible. There is no problem with that.
