Support logging to ThingSpeak channels #188

Closed SRGDamia1 closed 5 years ago

SRGDamia1 commented 5 years ago

ThingSpeak looks like it has some interesting free data analysis tools. It might be nice to set up a module to use their RESTful API's.

It would be good feature, to have another publishing source. They also have an MQTT interface - which I haven't tried. I've used it for it about 2yrs and never had any issues. One example I've done is a rain gauge - http://azonde.info/pm2/LiveRainGauge3.htm that has used an IMP type WiFi device. To get more history press the button on the bottom left "Load More Historical Data". The display code is at https://github.com/neilh10/thingspeakmultichannel-highcharts -

For the free account, they do have a limitation on the rate that you can publish to once every 15seconds.

Seems cool, except that ThingSpeak IoT is built around Matlab. Could the data also be accessed with R or Python? I wonder if anyone has done that.

They have a REST API, so definitely can be access in python https://www.mathworks.com/help/thingspeak/channels-and-charts-api.html

That's all great to hear that this is open to all users. Having been a Matlab user in grad school, I know how strict Mathworks is with only giving access to those with valid licenses. I wasn't sure if that might be the case here.

This was way easier than I thought it would be!

SRGDamia1 commented 5 years ago

Ok.. maybe not perfect. It worked on the ESP but not on a digi bee.

Really done in #208 . Tested with everything but a SIM800
