New to ThingsSpeak. I have a Photon 2 and vreated a webhook with simple code to send random numbers reprsented as 'temp' to a channel in ThingSpeak. All good with the code and my device shows the webhook is sending data and the events corespond to the same number of entries received in my channel. However, I do not see any visual graph of the data. What am i missing?

Most likely answer is that you are sending string data i.e 'temp is 34'. Read the data using url format shown in the API keys tab (you can just paste it into a browser) or use the data import / export tab to download a csv. Then you can see if there is data making it to the channel at all.

Thanks for the quick reply and yes, I am sending string data. I reviewed my settings, and it helps to input the fields correctly. That was my issue and should have triple checked my entries. All good and I am on my way to more sensor data transmission via the web.
