i will give it a go - that thingspeak actually seems much more powerful than i realised!

I am on a project very much the same as yours.
I am already reading my DHT22´s and uploadint to ThingSpeak with ESP8266-12 boards. That is working fine.

But I need help with the other side: I don´t know how to write the task for Tasker to download a specific channel´s field, and read THE LAST value available. How to write the http request for tasker, and then parse the result. Can you post the task you have used in Tasker?

By the way, I am also noob at coding, just enough to copy-modify-adapt-and-go.

*** EDIT: I have just made it work ***

Thank you !
Juan.

I'm doing all my 'tasks' in my code using if/else statements ... Only using thingspeak.com for data logging...

If you're just a code hacker like me, forgot LUA and get learning the Arduino code
