I only started tinkering with Particle yesterday but I am having reliability issues with webhooks. My code differs only slightly from the weather example, I’m calling data from thingspeak for example, but I have kept the 60 seconds delay between tries to avoid blacklisting. Using curl in a differe…

Hey @mayhew1955 , thanks for your question. Sorry you are having difficulties. Posting the exact firmware that you’re using for the webhook will likely help debug the issue. Also, did you make sure the webhook appears when you run particle webhook list? Also, do you have the new Particle CLI installe…

Hi @jeiden Thanks for the quick reply, the new particle CLI is installed and particle webhook list returns the following (it’s a temperature log): Found 1 hooks registered 1.) Hook #555a23f22ccd38832b250421 is watching for "get_salon_temp" and posting to: http://api.thingspeak.com/channels/207…

It’s frustrating, after minimal code changes webhook callbacks no longer work. I can see the hook-response in the Dashboard but my function doesn’t trigger reliably. This doesn’t make sense !

Hmm… mine started working; I ended up deleting ALL webhooks and recreating the one I needed. looking good now. You might give that a try.

Hi @mayhew1955 , There is an bug in the core firmware, where it will stop listening for a particular event subscription. I believe this bug is fixed in the new photon firmware, and will be available to the core soon as we continue to upgrade our dev tools to target alternate firmware versions. Ther…

Hi @Dave , Thank you for confirming that it is a known issue, it’s much appreciated, I’ve been trying workarounds but nothing is as satisfactory as the promised functionality. What’s your approximate ETA on upgrading the dev tools? FYI I’m using the online compiler. EDIT: Upon further testing, I …

Hey @mayhew1955 , looks like someone had an issue with multiple Spark.subscribe()s and @Dave came back with a solution here . But regarding webhooks, I’ve also had a similar issue with the data being pulled into my project, so I’m on the edge of my seat for the new firmware update!

@Dave , I just wanted to point out that outside of the subscribe issue, when I look at the dashboard I find that my webhooks are not even firing it seems as I get no response payload showing up (independent of subscribe). Often, I have to fire the webhook several times before getting the expected re…

Hi @peekay123 , Hmm. If the response body of the web request doesn’t have anything, then the webhook won’t publish a message back to your device, but I’ll look into it! Thanks, David
