Hello everyone , I’m trying the new RTC widget on cloud server , I tried the example RTC , modifying it to work with the esp8266 as shield in hardware serial . The sketch seems to work correctly only that returns me the date and time 1/1/1970 0 : 0 : 0 , after ten seconds to change time in 0 : 0 : 10 , a sign that the rtc not ’ locked .
In practice it seems that the date and time are not synchronized , and this ’ the scketch I used an Arduino Mega :

* Blynk can provide your device with time data, like an RTC.
* Please note that the accuracy of this method is up to several seconds.

* App dashboard setup:
* RTC widget on V5

* WARNING :
* For this example you'll need SimpleTimer library:

*
* And also this Time keeping library:

*
* This code is based on an example from the Time library:

day(), month(), year());

Blynk.run();
timer.run();
}
and this the results:
