Hi,

is it possible to get status data from an simple *.txt file from internet to display in Line 2 from an Display OLED SSD1306? Line 1 is my local sensor and Line 2 should be a status page from the web. Alternatively the status Line 2 row can also be an reading from thingspeak. How can i do that?

Thanks!

Holger

No not currently. We have some ideas for the future but haven't got the time yet.

The controllers are "publish TO" and not "fetch FROM" so no. But we totally get the idea and we've been thinking along those lines already. :)
