Controlling Widget from Hardware

You can update widget properties programmatically using:

Blynk.setProperty(vPin, "widgetProperty", "propertyValue");

Where:

• vPin — Virtual pin assigned to the widget

• widgetProperty — Property you want to change

• propertyValue — New value for that property

Warning: Avoid placing Blynk.setProperty() in the loop() function — this may flood the server and disconnect your device. Use timers or event-based updates instead.

Supported Properties

You can change the following properties from hardware or via the HTTP API:

• label

• isHidden

• isDisabled

Example (hardware):

Blynk.setProperty(V1, "isHidden", "true");

Example (HTTP API):

https://{server_address}/external/api/update/property?token={your_32_char_token}&pin=V1&isHidden=true
