Hi there @neilh20. Thanks for your response, sorry I couldn’t get to it until now. I spent some time on the code, and I tried the code with the 0.28.5 version of the EnviroDIY ModularSensors library just to see if anything changed. It still isn’t uploading to ThingSpeak though. I tried the 0.30.0 version of the ModularSensors library, alongside the StreamDebugger as well, here’s the output of the code (excluding the ThingSpeak data). It doesn’t look that much different.

That’s very strange that the code worked with the Digi Wifi module. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated! And if you see anything that I did wrong with the code, please let me know! I’m still rather new to this.
