No worries (and you’re not alone!). If you’re uncertain about where to post, you can check the main Forums page and you’ll see the list of forums with brief descriptions. Admittedly, there is a bit of overlap for Monitor My Watershed. Others can weigh in if I’m getting this wrong, but I think if you have a Mayfly-related problem pushing your data…[Read more]

@zeke-holloman

I’m not sure if this pertains to your project or not, but when I was looking through the ThingSpeak documentation and going through my test account it had a place to add a MQTT device that would be posting. It issued the device credentials: username, client ID and password…?? Sorry if I’m just causing more confusion, but trying…[Read more]

Thanks Heather! Sorry, I can’t keep all of the forums straight. 🙁

P.S. I’ve moved this topic from the Mayfly Data Logger forum to the Monitor My Watershed forum, in case other look there for this issue.

Hi Cheryl, thanks for posting. This issue was reported to the Monitor My Watershed development team yesterday. They have identified the cause and will be working to fix it today.

Hey @neilh20. Thanks for looking at. Yeah, I already had the keys and the channel ID in the code, I just took them out for the forum. Sorry, I understand that could have been confusing. Other than that, is there anything else you could see it being?

Hi @zeke-holloman – looks like the ThingSpeak keys and channel need to be added.

Add them to (the following are examples)
const char* thingSpeakMQTTKey =
“Z0G6QX4IXEHKG0PK”; // Your MQTT API Key from Account > MyProfile.
const char* thingSpeakChannelID =
“5940”; // The numeric channel id for your channel eg
const char* thingSpeakChannelKey…[Read more]

Hey, thanks @neilh20. I added that and uploaded the program and this was the serial monitor output. What does dataPublisherBase refer to?

I’ll have to get about streamdebugger as heading out the office, back in 2hrs

For debug you should see the following in platformIO.ini – add it to the end. It will force a complete recompile

Also, I was having trouble finding the stream debugger line (#if defined STREAMDEBUGGER_DBG) you were mentioning earlier in the ModularSensors library. Do you know where that would be located?

Hi there! Thank you @neilh20 and @vogelrnws for all of your help! Yeah, based on what I’m seeing, I don’t think its been connecting at all. I have been checking the channel I’m using whenever I’m trying to connect and no data has been popping up in the fields. It’s only got like, 5 fields, so it’s not too complicated either. Sorry, I’m somewhat…[Read more]

Hi @zeke – good check by Rick.

Looking at your error, it does say connection error so implies it didn’t even connect to thingspeak.

I checked this 5months ago and it worked for me. What is your channel number?. This allows a view of if any data has arrived. The channel I used for testing, a bit simplistic …[Read more]

In the <b>DE</b> field, type <b>75B</b> and set the port that the broker uses. MQTT port is 1883 (0x75B).

You might check your ThingSpeak credentials using a desktop MQTT Client just to ensure everything works outside of your project itself as a first step.

This example uses MQTT.fx, but I normally use http://mqtt-explorer.com/

We are using the…[Read more]

Hi @zeke thanks for the qu.  I’ve got the thingspeak working as a POST, but don’t regularly test it. I believe the MQTT is a different route, and I personally haven’t used it.

For the Digi Corp LTE Cat-M1 cell modems, I do ensure that they are upgraded to the latest version with XCTU & XCTU board. It is a bit painful, but worked for me. If there…[Read more]

Ok! Sounds good; thanks. @neilh, do you have any experience with ThingSpeak or any advice for this issue?

I haven’t used Thingspeak in a very long time, since we have our own data host at MonitorMyWatershed, so I don’t know the specifics about the connections, but I know a few other EnviroDIY members have used it, so maybe one of them can help out.

Hi! Thank you for the quick response. Yeah, I already registered a channel with ThingSpeak, and I’ve put the stuff for that into lines 201-206 (the stuff in the sketch above is just placeholders), and running it with those keys and ID’s still doesn’t work. I’d wondered if mqtt.thingspeak.com had been changed to a different URL recently. Is there…[Read more]

You shouldn’t have to use XCTU for anything, the modem setup part of the sketch programs the Digi module with whatever settings are necessary, based on what you’re trying to do in the sketch.  You’re able to connect to the internet, otherwise the clock syncing function wouldn’t say that your RTC is on time, so I’m guessing your issue is with…[Read more]
