I have two time inputs.
At startup the first time input syncs correctly.
But the second one gets time start ‘0:0:40’, althoigh widget shows 23:00:00-21:01:00.
When edit the widget, just press ok, then the time gets synced correctly.

Why are you doing a Blynk.syncVirtual on the three widgets every 10 seconds?
Have you tried separate BLYNK_WRITE(vPin) callback functions for each of the three widgets?
Pete.
It’s an alarm setup, checking every 10 seconds if alarm should be triggered.
I will try to rewrite the code with separate BLYNK_WRITE(vPin)
If you structure your code correctly, you don’t need to do this, other than as part of a BLYNK_CONNECTED process.
Normally, you would hold the various start and stop times, along with active days etc. as variables. These variables are updated whenever the values in the app change, because the corresponding BLYNK_WRITE(vPin) function is called (or when Blynk connects/reconnects). All you then need to do is check if any of the changeover times have been met using your 10 second timer.
Pete.
If I want to save memory and not hold set of variables for the three time inptus, wouldn’t this be the approach?
Or is there something against syncing every 10 seconds?
As far as I’m concerned, repeatedly calling Blynk.sync commands is bad practice, and it also prevents the code executing correctly if there is an interruption to the WiFi/Internet connection.
Memory shouldn’t be an issue with an ESP8266/NodeMCU, even if you’re using OTA - which isn’t included in your existing sketch.
Pete.
I rewrote the code using BLYNK_WRITE and reinserted the second time input widget.
Still getting the same results, just for V4

If I change V4 to V7, then it works as expected.
Then change again from V7 to V4, still wrong behaviour.
Is there some kind of cache on the blynk cloud I could clear?
