Thanks for the suggestion to use ubidots.

I looked over some tutorials including the excellent one by @RWB on setting up a dashboard

I tried a simple experiment using the examples given here

New library for Ubidots!

Hey guys! Hello for all, i have good news for you, Ubidots create a new library for you, with this new library you will be able to connect to Ubidots with TCP method or if you prefer with UDP method. Here some basic examples: // This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE. #include "Ubidots/Ubidots.h" #define TOKEN "CCN8FrVulRYGulPTkbaiR9Myx8qN2o" // Put here your Ubidots TOKEN Ubidots ubidots(TOKEN); void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { fl…

I built a Device on ubidots called "Weather Station" with a single variable called "Temp"
Then built a dashboard with widgets called "WeatherShield"

Here is the code I flashed to the electron

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <Ubidots.h>

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
//#include "Ubidots/Ubidots.h"

#define TOKEN "pwy6q5f43V71zV516s6dyxxxxxxxxx"  // Put here your Ubidots TOKEN
#define DATA_SOURCE_NAME "Weather Station"

Ubidots ubidots(TOKEN);

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    ubidots.setDatasourceName(DATA_SOURCE_NAME);
}
void loop() {
    float value = analogRead(A0);
    ubidots.add("Temp", value, "context1=value_context1$context2=value_context2");  // Change for your variable name
    ubidots.sendAll();
    delay(5000);
}

When I ran this, my data appeared as a new device on ubidots called "Particle" - it did not go to my dashboard called "Weather Station" . So I got data - but not where I wanted it.

I don't fully understand the difference between Name and Tag - and how that relates back to the devices and dashboards I create on Ubidots.

ubidots.setDatasourceName(DATA_SOURCE_NAME);
ubidots.setDatasourceTag(DATA_SOURCE_TAG);

Thanks in advance for any help with this newbie question.
