very new saw some similar questions didn’t understand answer if someone could dumb it down for me. Using blynk iot.
If possible could someone make a guide for setting basic time triggered events like turning on a light at a specified time, would really be helpful to get the ball rolling for me in this topic as I think I could easily modify and learn more from the code structure.
Hey there,
If you would like to create a time based actions, you should use automation which is the easiest way.
https://docs.blynk.io/en/blynk.apps/automations
okay so I followed the guide except my app isnt showing the automation tab, I believe i have the correct permissions as i only have one account, but even with a automation supported data stream i have no way to build an automation?
When you create a datastream, go to advanced settings and turn on expose to automation and check available in conditions and available in actions.
another way, go to the console ( blynk.cloud ) and choose automation
I don’t have that tab??? Is this not available in the free account version?
No, it should be available in the free plan as well.
That’s probably because you don’t have any datastreams where the advanced settings, expose to automations option is turned on.
Pete.
No I have set up a data stream do I have to code a function for the virtual pin in order for the tab to be available?
How did you configure your datastream ?
Post some screenshots please
