Hi
What is the easiest way to send values from particle to ubidots? Variable label or particle webhooks?
I have tried both, but I can’t figure it out. I have this working particle-sketch but I want the variables to be sendt to ubidots.
Anyone how can guide me to the right direction?
I appreciate all help!
Regards
Kristian

SparkFun Photon Weather Shield basic example with soil moisture and temp
and weather meter readings including wind speed, wind direction and rain.
Joel Bartlett @ SparkFun Electronics
Original Creation Date: May 18, 2015
Based on the Wimp Weather Station sketch by: Nathan Seidle
https://github.com/sparkfun/Wimp_Weather_Station
This sketch prints the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, altitude,
soil moisture, and soil temperature to the Seril port. This sketch also
incorporates the Weather Meters avaialbe from SparkFun (SEN-08942), which allow
you to measure Wind Speed, Wind Direction, and Rainfall. Upload this sketch
after attaching a soil moisture and or soil temperature sensor and Wetaher
Meters to test your connections.
Hardware Connections:
This sketch was written specifically for the Photon Weather Shield,
which connects the HTU21D and MPL3115A2 to the I2C bus by default.
If you have an HTU21D and/or an MPL3115A2 breakout, use the following
hardware setup:
HTU21D ------------- Photon
(-) ------------------- GND
(+) ------------------- 3.3V (VCC)
CL ------------------- D1/SCL
DA ------------------- D0/SDA
MPL3115A2 ------------- Photon
GND ------------------- GND
VCC ------------------- 3.3V (VCC)
SCL ------------------ D1/SCL
SDA ------------------ D0/SDA
Soil Moisture Sensor ----- Photon
GND ------------------- GND
VCC ------------------- D5
SIG ------------------- A1
DS18B20 Temp Sensor ------ Photon
VCC (Red) ------------- 3.3V (VCC)
GND (Black) ----------- GND
SIG (White) ----------- D4
Development environment specifics:
IDE: Particle Dev
Hardware Platform: Particle Photon
Particle Core

employee) at the local, and you've found our code helpful,
