[SOLVED] Virtual button pressed for X seconds

[Trieu_Le]

Ohh Thanks alot

[Costas]

@Trieu_Le I am looking at your sketch now. Stripped it down to this (note there is no header required for the timer, whatever name it has).

    // button pressed
    newTimer = timer.setTimeout(2000,unlock);
    led6.on();
  } 
  else {
    timer.disable(newTimer);
    led6.off();   
  }
}

void unlock()
{
      if (sb==1){
        sb=0;
        led5.off(); 
        Serial.println("LED5 OFF");
      }
      else if (sb==0){
        sb=1;
        led5.on();
        Serial.println("LED5 ON"); 
      }
      led6.off(); 
      Serial.println("LED6 OFF");     
}

I still need to add some more simulation but I’ll get back to you when I have worked something out.

@Trieu_Le if you run the following sketch with the timer count being displayed in V0 value display you will see it toggles between 1 and 2. All is fine, the bugs are in the rest of your sketch

// Press4Xsecs.ino per https://community.blynk.cc/t/solved-virtual-button-pressed-for-x-seconds/11379/58

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

BlynkTimer timer;
int newTimer = 1;
int sb = 1;

WidgetLED led5(V1);
WidgetLED led6(V2);

char auth[] = "xxx";
char ssid[] = "GargoyleTest";
char pass[] = "xxx";
char server[] = "xxx";

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();
  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, server);
  timer.setInterval(1000L, LoadPower);    
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run(); // Initiates SimpleTimer
 }

void LoadPower()
{ 
  // do some Emon stuff here
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V0, timer.getNumTimers()); // display # of running timers in Blynk
}

// V0 value display
// V1 Green LED
// V2 Red   LED

BLYNK_WRITE(V5)
{
 if(param.asInt()){  
    newTimer = timer.setTimeout(2000,unlock); // button pressed
    led6.on();
  } 
  else {
    timer.disable(newTimer);
    led6.off();   
  }
}

void unlock()
{
  if (sb==1){
    sb=0;
    led5.off(); 
    Serial.println("LED5 OFF");
  }
  else if (sb==0){
    sb=1;
    led5.on();
    Serial.println("LED5 ON"); 
  }
  led6.off(); 
  Serial.println("LED6 OFF");     
}

The simulation is only using V5 in the ON position but you can have ON / OFF with minor mods.
Edit: I have just used the button in PUSH mode and I notice the timer count is forever increasing.
It stops at the maximum 16. Mod the code above to delete the running timer in PUSH mode.

Were you working in PUSH or SWITCH mode?

If you are working in PUSH mode comment out this line:

timer.disable(newTimer); // for switch mode only

and after:

Serial.println("LED6 OFF");

add the following:

timer.deleteTimer(newTimer);     // for button in PUSH mode

Thank you !!! Already upload and testing !!! It over an hour and still perfect.
I’m running in Push mode

[Trieu_Le]

It working perfectly, . Thank you Costas !!
