Newbie first question regarding end devices.


Hello All,
This is my first post here so I hope its in the right place,
I have built myself a GW consisting of a RAK2245 concentrator and a Raspberry Pi, Also an Arduino end device from this link https://tum-gis-sensor-nodes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dragino_lora_arduino_shield/README.html
Both projects work fine and connect to TTN whereby packets of data from the end device can be seen in the TTN console.
I now want to create a Webhook in TTN for Thingspeak which would hopefull allow me to see Temperature , Humidity etc in graphical form.
My question, does thingspeak support homebuilt devices or is it focused on comercially built devices ?
I have spent many hours trying to find data hosting site that is comepletely free for a few devices and not to complicated to setup as some seem to be a nightmare. Thanks for any support .

Thingspeak is definetely one of the easiest IoT sites to get going on and it also has free tier for non commmercial use. ThingSpeak definitely supports almost any kind of device that con comminicate on a network via HttP or MQTT.
The Get Started tutorial can help you get to posting data in a short time, and there are many examples available for different platforms. Here is the full API reference.
