Well, this makes for some interesting options… such as “animated” icons…
void clockDisplay() // requires RTC setup and a timer call every second
{
sprintf(currentTime, "%02d:%02d:%02d", hour(), minute(), second());
// Send 1st hourglass icon and time to Display Widget
Blynk.virtualWrite(V12, "\xE2\x8F\xB3", currentTime);
// Send 2nd hourglass icon and time to Display Widget 1/2 second later
timer.setTimeout(500L, []() {
Blynk.virtualWrite(V12, "\xE2\x8C\x9B", currentTime);
});
}
