No, Time Input widget sends your input FROM App TO Hardware… As it is in UI time format, you then need to decode it and do something in your code with the resulting information.

No, Time Input widget sends your input FROM App TO Hardware…

And as per the docs also from hardware to UI, see https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/blob/master/examples/Widgets/TimeInput/UpdateTimeInputState/UpdateTimeInputState.ino

Ah, yes, you are correct… I certainly don’t recall it being there when I first tried to figure out Time Input, But I see that support for that was added… I clearly haven’t used this Widget much

Is it possible to update a time input widget value from hardware side?

Hi, How could I update time input widget value from hardware side? Should I use the HTTP RESTful API? And what is the update value format? Thanks a lot!

It wasn’t part of the original design of the Time Input widget and added fairly recently (few months ago).
