I want to control the level my water tank with a esp8266 and Thingspeak.
I can see the level in Thingspeak. This is working.
Now I want to send 2 emails :
  1. One daily email with the actual level
  2. Alarm email when level is below a setpoint.
How can I incorporate the value from a channel in the email ?
What I have now for the daily email , but with errors :
alert_body = 'huidig peil regenput';
channelID = ..........;
% Provide the ThingSpeak alerts API key. All alerts API keys start with TAK.
alertApiKey = 'TAK...............';
% Set the address for the HTTTP call
alertUrl="https://api.thingspeak.com/alerts/send";
% webwrite uses weboptions to add required headers. Alerts needs a ThingSpeak-Alerts-API-Key header.
options = weboptions("HeaderFields", ["ThingSpeak-Alerts-API-Key", alertApiKey ]);
% Set the email subject.
alertSubject = sprintf("Niveau regenput " );
% Read the recent data.
peil = thingSpeakRead(channelID,'Fields',1);
% Check to make sure the data was read correctly from the channel.
% Set the outgoing message
webwrite(alertUrl , "body", alertBody, "subject", alertSubject,'Fields',peil);
% Catch errors so the MATLAB code does not disable a TimeControl if it fails
try
webwrite(alertUrl , "body", alert_body, "subject", alertSubject, options);
catch someException
fprintf("Failed to send alert: %s\n", someException.message);
end
The errors I receive :
Unrecognized function or variable 'alert_Body'.
Error in Read Channel to Trigger Email 1 (line 24)
webwrite(alertUrl , "body", alert_Body, "subject", alertSubject,"Fields",peil);
Manny thanks in advance

Hallo,
ich Neuling hier, und habe das Beispiel WriteMultipleFields benutzt um die Funktionsweise zu verstehen.
So weit so gut, hat auch alles grklappt. Jetzt nach 2 Tagen bekomme ich immer eine Fehlermeldung.
Problem updating channel. HTTP error code -401 abwechselnd mit
Channel update successful.
Es ist immernoch die gleiche Software, Board ist WiFi LoRa 32 V3.
Buongiorno, non mi è possibile connetermi al canale di thingspeak che ho creato, per passare i dati tramite MQTT. Il codice segue la libreria PubSubClient su arduino ide, l'errore restituito dal serial monitor dell'ide é: -4 : MQTT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT - the server didn't respond within the keepalive time.
Allego il codice per eventuali verifiche:

I have been having problems sending ThingSpeak alerts so I created a simple routine that demonstrates the problem. The code executes successfully but I never receive an email with the alert. What am I doing wrong?
% Set Thingspeak address, alerts API key, and options for the HTTTP call
alertUrl = "https://api.thingspeak.com/alerts/send";
alertApiKey = "TAKxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
options = weboptions("HeaderFields",["ThingSpeak-Alerts-API-Key",alertApiKey]);
% Set content for email subject and body.
alertSubject = "ThingSpeak Alert Subject";
alertBody = "ThingSpeak Alert Body";
% Catch errors so the MATLAB code does not disable a TimeControl if it fails
try
webwrite(alertUrl, "body", alertBody, "subject", alertSubject, options);
catch Exception
fprintf("Failed to send alert: %s\n", Exception.message);
end
Am running multiple sensors in the field producing strings of data then sending them to a node. The node is an Arduino Uno on which SIM 800 is attached for internet connectivity. After computation, the result is several strings that i want to display to things speak. The code i have so far can only upload numerical data. Am in need of help to display these strings in Thingsspeak.Help me.
Dear Team,
I have populated my data on ThingsBoard platform using ESP8266, now I want to read that data using MATLAB Industrial Communication Toolbox. I have written a code for this purpose below,
% Replace these values with your ThingsBoard MQTT broker details
brokerAddress = "ssl://demo.thingsboard.io"; % Adjust the broker address
port = 1883; % Use the appropriate port for secure MQTT
% Replace these values with your ThingsBoard device details
clientID = "";
userName = "";
password = ""; % Leave empty if not required
% Replace this with the path to the root certificate you downloaded
rootCert = "";
% Create an MQTT client
mqClient = mqttclient(brokerAddress, 'Port', port, 'ClientID', clientID, ...
'Username', userName, 'Password', password, 'CARootCertificate', rootCert);
% Check if the connection is established
mqClient.Connected
% Expected output: ans = int32(1)
% Subscribe to the telemetry topic
topicToSub = "v1/devices/me/telemetry";
subscribe(mqClient, topicToSub);
% Wait for a while to receive messages (adjust the time as needed)
pause(60);
% Peek at the MQTT client to view received messages
peek(mqClient);
% Close the MQTT client
clear mqClient;
%%%%__________________Output Result______________________%%%%%
>> MQTT_Receive
Warning: Using a port that allows unencrypted communication. For confidential matters, considering using an encryption
enforcing port, such as 8883.
Error using MQTT_Receive
Failed to establish a connection with broker "ssl://demo.thingsboard.io".
I desperately seeking your assistance in this regard
I'm logging data which I'd like to see on a daily basis. ie each day the chart x axis resets to 12midnight to 12midnight for the current day and just shows todays data. Is this possible please ?

Hello
I have been using ThingSpeak for about 2 years with no problems. I am observing sensor data and connecting widgets to some of the values. Since yesterday, there are some of the widgets that send blank values. Have you changed something?
Thank you
Hello, I would like to send temperature and humidity data from my ThingSpeak channel to the https://www.wunderground.com/ service. I managed to configure the initial connection through ThingHTTP, and on the WeatherUnderground website, there is information about data updates, but there are no actual values: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IKORON5/table/2023-11-19/2023-11-19/daily
I don't know how to correctly configure all the options in ThingHTTP and in the Apps - React section.
when I examine the data stream on an arduino ide I get a lot of "stuff" which I dont understand.
1 what does it mean?
2 how do I prevent it?
Hello,
i want to write the power data from my Tasmota IR Device to my channels, but it does not work.
I have created 3 channels and i use the correct write API in the script. I use the following script:
>D
>B
=>sensor53 r
>S
if upsecs%20==0
then
=>WebSend [api.thingspeak.com] /update.json? api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&field1=%sml[1]%&field2=%sml[2]%&field3=%sml[3]%
endif
>M 1

I get the messages in the console that the data was send but my channels stay empty.
What do i miss ?
Thanks for help

I am collecting Data at 1 minute intervals using esp8266, the data is then sent to Thingspeak on the minute intervals. However I would like to store the data collection on the esp Ram. I am using batteries to power the circuits , if I can store the data and send it on demand I can save quite a bit of battery energy (used up by wifi) - (I already use sleep mode between intervals). As well as using Thingspeak to visuliase the data, I also use a third part app called Thingview which 'feeds' off thingspeak. I am looking for a way to trigger the 'data send' upon opening thinkspeak chanel,so rather than sending every minute it might need to be accessed two or three times a day, is this possible?
Thanks Edward

Hi!
I can't see my data in the charts. I'm using arduino wifi and the connection works.
Maybe I did something wrong in this options

Is there a way to get a handle or link to the database each time I do a WRITE or group of WRITEs? I need to access the set of records that comprises a user session, which could be many WRITEs. My impression is that Thingspeak appears as a continuous stream with no way to mark a set of WRITEs as a group or session. Methods I have tried like retrieval (READs) using timestamps and other after-the-fact queries are not very accurate or user friendly. Thanks.

Just in time for Halloween.
Here's a MATLAB class I wrote that leverages the MATLAB Central Interface for MATLAB toolbox, which in turn uses the publicy available Community API. Using this class, I've created a few Favorites that show me what's going on in MATLAB Central - without having to leave MATLAB 🙂
The class has a few convenient queries:
  • Results for the last 7 days
  • Results for the last 30 days
  • Results for the current month
  • Results for today
And supporting a bunch of different content scopes:
  • All MATLAB Central
  • MATLAB Answers
  • Blogs
  • Cody
  • Contests
  • File Exchange
  • Exclude Answers content
The results are displayed in the command window (which worked best for me) and link to each post. Here's what that looks like for this command
>> CommunityFeed.thisMonth("app designer", CommunityFeed.Scope.ExcludeAnswers)
Let me know if you find this class useful and feel free to suggest changes.
we are planning to design a drive for an EV using synchronous reluctance motor. To move further we need some drive circuits for simulating and comparing various motors with synchronous reluctance to justify our literature survey. can we get som circuit suggestions?

I am running the code from the following URL: https://kr.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/comm.ricianchannel-system-object.html. I copied and executed the example to visualize the channel's impulse response. However, when I run the same code multiple times with the same path gains and delays, I get different impulse response results each time. What could be the reason for this?
This behavior is unexpected because the code and settings are the same for each run, and the impulse response should remain constant.
This is the code.
fs = 3.84e6; % Sample rate in Hz
pathDelays = [0 200 800 1200 2300 3700]*1e-9; % in seconds
avgPathGains = [0 -0.9 -4.9 -8 -7.8 -23.9]; % dB
kfact = 10; % Rician K-factor
fD = 50; % Max Doppler shift in Hz
ricianChan = comm.RicianChannel( ...
SampleRate=fs, ...
PathDelays=pathDelays, ...
AveragePathGains=avgPathGains, ...
KFactor=kfact, ...
MaximumDopplerShift=fD, ....
Visualization='Impulse and frequency responses');
ricianChan(0.1);
The two images below show the results of running the same code.
