Hi  
Is it possible to have Photon breathing cyan with no data flowing from the cloud, in this case Ubidots. ?  
To reestablish connectivity it was necessary to power cycle the Photon .  
Ubidots platform was 100% up.  
Thanks.

How do you transfer data between your device and Ubidots.  
AFAIK Ubidots by default doesn’t use the Particle cloud for communication but TCP (on WiFi devices) and UDP (on cellular).

I’m using Ubidots library for Particle devices, in this case Photon  
I’m sending data directly to Ubidots Cloud using TCP method.

The breathing cyan indicates live connection to the cloud but doesn’t tell anything about the status of any user-driven TCP connection.
