Time input widget and eventor

Solved

Hopefully your Grandma can use the Time Input widget as per the following revamped sketch. It’s really quite straightforward and easy to incorporate into your own projects.

/********************************************************************************* 
  EziSchedulerV2.ino   by Costas, 7 Sept 2017
  Scheduler with Time Input and obligatory OTA update facility for ESP's
  RTC widget (no pin allocation)
  LED V0
  Time Input V1
  To add more schedules simply copy BLYNK_WRITE(V1) function and change V1 to V2 etc
  and in activetoday() function add: Blynk.syncVirtual(V2); // sync scheduler #2
