No. Never downgrade the lib version. Now do you could upload the code via OTA?

43

yes. now i can flash OTA. (with bth new and old library)

@ouchboy,
By the way, meanwhile you can use:

getValue("your_variable_id")

Thank you for your report i will fix that as soon as possible.

I am having the identical problem using v 2.1.9 of the Particle Ubidots library - values returned are always 0. I have no problem sending data. Perhaps I have the incorrect data source name - I have tried both the name I provided in the Dashboard (say myAlarm) or the Particle Photon device ID. Which is correct?
thanks David

I also get a 0 return using getValue(). In the dashboard variable4 is set to 65
thanks David

#include “Ubidots.h”

#define TOKEN “myToken here”
Ubidots ubidots(TOKEN);

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
float value;
//value = ubidots.getValueWithDatasource(DATA_SOURCE_TAG, “variable4”);
value = ubidots.getValue(“variable4”);
Serial.print("data= ");
Serial.println(value);
delay(5000);
}
