Sorry, I have some problems with my iPad.
Hello hagay, I’m using your code for irrigation since last year without problem.
Now I’m also testing with my swimming pool motor pump on/off and I notice a funny behaviour.
If I use time input widget (start time) for start and stop, it start correctly but never stop, but maybe it not designed for it.
If use time input only for start and slider duration for stop, for instance six hour ( 360 minutes), it start correctly but every time my nodemcu lose wifi connection even for one second the counting restart from that time.
The time is showed on the button.
So my motor pump is always on…
Could you have a test on your device?
Thanks
Hi alessiocalosi.
I made a lot of changes to the code since my last post.
I was busy doing some real work so the change was on and off for long time and I did not post it here.
I now have the code on github and you can see it at :GitHub - hagayr/ESP8266_scheduler: Blynk Configurable Scheduler
It includes Automatic connect and OTA.
I think your issue is caused by the wifi disconnect.
when connected again the Blynk.syncAll(); see that the button is pressed (the app is not reset so the VP state is ON) and tries to activate the scheduler.
If you don’t want to change into my new code you can check the
BLYNK_CONNECTED() function.
and replace the
Blynk.syncAll();
with:
for (int i = 0; i<TIME_CNT*SCHEDULER_CNT ; i++) Blynk.syncVirtual(VP_SWCH0_TIME0+i);
for (int i = 0; i<SCHEDULER_CNT ; i++) Blynk.syncVirtual(VP_ACTV_DUR_SCHD0+i);
for (int i = 0; i<SCHEDULER_CNT ; i++) Blynk.syncVirtual(VP_MAX_DUR_SCHD0+i);
Blynk.syncVirtual(VP_SLEEP_SYS);
Blynk.syncVirtual(VP_DISBL_SYS);
Blynk.syncVirtual(VP_DISBL_DAYS);
this will make Blynk ignore the immidiate activation when connected again.
Hope this will help.
Hagay
I’m changing to your new code immediately!
Thank you very much.
Finally my system is working ok. I am using 24v solenoids, it was the easy way to do it.
Arizona, thks a lot for your code. I have only one doubt. When I manually switch off the system with the slide button, the system goes ON again after a few days. Is it normal?
Hello, @hagay, I’m starting this project and I was seeing the Github repository, and because I’m a noob, I don’t understand the files like Autoconn, device defines, etc. Can you please explain how to used.
Cumps.
Automatic Connect (using tzapu WififManager)
DeviceDefines.h to select the device in use
//#define SONOFF_4CH_PRO
#define ESP8285_NODEMCU
//#define SONOFF_TH16
//#define APTINEX_RP4CE8So I have to update the firmware of esp8266?
No, only the sketch.
The original code for this project doesn’t include OTA.
The code will be uploaded to the ESP using a serial cable. If you later wanted to add OTA functionality you could, provided the code doesn’t take up more than 50% of the available memory.

@PeteKnight so the files only need to be updated and than upload to esp8266 like the, ino file.
https://github.com/hagayr/ESP8266_scheduler?files=1
I’m not sure what you mean by “updated”
The GitHub project you linked to does include OTA, which can be used to update the device once you’ve loaded the initial code via a serial cable.
Maybe rather than asking cryptic one-line questions you should explain in more detail where you are at with getting this project up and running.
Pete.
@PeteKnight restarting its better, my doubt is simple in the gui project that I linked what I do with the rest of that files like Autoconn, who I upload to Esp8266?
It’s an entire project, with sub files that will appear in individual tabs within the Arduino IDE. Download it all and save it in the same folder then open the .ino file.
Pete.
Hello, i tried to work with this project but I’m confused.
- first copy all the files to a folder
- Open the ESP8266_scheduler.ino
- go to DeviceDefines.h, change this #define ESP8285_NODEMCU, to ESP8266_NODEMCU.
- Than select NodeMcu 0.9 (ESP-12 Module)
- upload the file.
Is this i have to do?
Because i only have worked small projects only with a file, never worked with this structure.
And this is the last update the project have? 
Yes.

Hello Everyone, I tried a lot options for my projects and now, I’m confused!!
My projects work with Wemos-D1-Mini V3.0
I use Arduino V1.8.10 with Blynk 0.6.1, Local server V0.41.5
-
My projects work fine in general, But When I scedule Timer3 (Pin Virtual V3) on Switch 1 (Pin Virtual V21), Zone 2 turn ON instead Zone 1 ??
-
Also, When I turn ON manually my zone, Zone 1 = OK, Zone 2 and 3 turn ON always (I push for turn OFF (try many time for that work) and the bad output on my wemos turn ON ??
-
I don’t understand the reset function, also I tried of change my output pin but no success!
