How to send counter button data?

Hi. I have two buttons that will increment the value. The first button is for the whole number and the second button is for the decimal points. And they will sum up together as a single variable then send the data to ubidots. Now my problem is that upon seeing my serial monitor, the button is publishing my desired button values which is 1.20, but when I look at my ubidots I can only see 0.00 values. Can someone help me please?

Ubidots:

This is the serial monitor:

Good day @itschristianjay,

I hope all is well.

Can you please print in the serial monitor the payload you are sending to the Ubidots device and send us an image? In that way, we can detect what could be happening that it is not corresponding to the Max Height value.

I will be attentive to your response.

Best,
-Isabel
