ds1820 ThingSpeak second sensor is not updating

[Micro_Kloon]

Hi,

Great software, really making life easier

The problem is that when I want multiple DS1820 sensors updating my ThingSpeak channel, then only one channel/sensor will be updated. The other channel will not be updated.
I have the delay set at 15000 (whatever unit that is).

Funny thing is that sometimes it does work, but other times it does not.

Hi,

I think the problem is that you have two idx values that are set to 1. Make the display have an idx value greater than 8 and see if that help.
Thing speak wants the 8 channels with consecutive numbering starting at 1

I did notice that too, but the documentation states that the IDX value is not being send. But I will try it.

Code: Select all

(The IDX field will be stuffed with '1', because it's needs a value. But nothing will be send with this device) 

Nope does not work, after submitting the form the idx value returns to 1.

You don't need to change the IDX for the display. Using IDX 1 and 2 for the two sensors as in your screenshot is fine.

But you need to set the sensor delay to a value bigger than the amount of sensors multiplied by 15. I would suggest to set it to 60 in this case.

Then you need to set the "message delay" to 15000 in tools/advanced menu. This is the required delay between any two messages that ThingSpeak demands. It will ignore data if it send in a higher frequency.
