I am considering to upgrade to HOME license. Does the HOME license provides more widgets (including a text message widget), in addition to the 4 basic widgets in the FREE version?

Thank you Vinod for a workable solution. With the help of ChatGPT, I was able to display one line of text message via MATLAB visulization tool. Unfortunately, I can only view one event with this tool.
The purpose of the project is to let the sensor module sends an event data in text format (time stamp plus the sensor reading) to the ThingSpeak cloud. This event does not happen very often ( several times a day). I believe this kind of remote sensor operation is very common.
The line graph of ThingSpeak dashboard simply is not suitable to display this type of sensor data. I wish ThingSpeak would offer a different type of data display dashboard. It would be vey nice if the dashboard of the ThingSpeak private view can simply display these events in a table form (list view). Each event is one line of text and scrolling up as more events happens.
You can always display multi-line text in the status field of your channel or using MATLAB visualization to write multi-line text into the plot that is displayed on your channel.
I use the ThingSpeak Alerts to send SMS messages using my cell phone network's email gateway. Here's what I do:
- Create a new MATLAB Analysis on ThingSpeak that sends an alert. This alert goes to my email address associated with my MathWorks Account used to log in to ThingSpeak.
- Create a new React on ThingSpeak that runs the MATLAB Analysis.
- In my gmail, create a filter to forward the emails from thingspeak-alerts@mail.thingspeak.com to my email gateway (typically something like <MyPhoneNumber>@<email.gateway>).
Now, whenever the react condition is trigerred, I get an email. If I needed to, I could also have the ThingSpeak Alert API directly trigerred by my device, but I usually use MATLAB to analyze historical data before I send the alert.
