Any Thingspeak examples (with ESP8266) around?

[MJU]

Does someone have an example for using Thingspeak with an ESP8266 and Flowcode?

I found some posts about this topic here: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=18721&p=81096&hilit=ifttt#p81094 but is there an example available?

Does anyone has this thing working?
Maybe a component?

Thanks

Hello,

Leigh has some experience of this but he on holiday this week. I'll ask him to have a look on his return next week.

I'll also have a bit of a dig and see if I can find any examples for you.

I wish you all @Matrix a pleasant vacation!

Any word on this one?

I will have a dig tomorrow.It will need some investigation.
It's some time since I played with Thingspeak, I think they have gone all HTTPS since then,
but as I recall ESP8266 can handle that

Hi,
I've had a look and not found anything useful.
As mentioned, Thingspeak now require a secure connection, so here is an example of a data update using a simple GET request

Code: Select all

https://api.thingspeak.com/update.json?api_key=<write_api_key>&field1=123

I'm not sure if ESP8266 can do this, probably depends on the firmware version, I've not a lot of experience with them.
Hope that gets you started.
