Thingspeak vs Adafruit_CircuitPython_AdafruitIO

Thingspeak

ThingSpeak is an open source “Internet of Things” application and API to store and retrieve data from things using HTTP over the Internet or via a Local Area Network. With ThingSpeak, you can create sensor logging applications, location tracking applications, and a social network of things with status updates. (by iobridge)

Kotlin/ Thingspeak Interfacing.

First of all, you need to ask yourself how familiar you are with MatLab. Then from a dev point of view, could you use an API to reference cloud data then apply analytics. Great intro to IoT. I can see that company going far in 5-10 and may invest based on trajectory. https://thingspeak.com

2 projects | /r/esp32 | 1 Feb 2023

I haven't got around to MQTT yet, but as an easy interim solution I recommend ThingSpeak https://thingspeak.com/ as you can set up an account for free and getting an ESP to send data to it is trivial. Plus you can access it via the web, or embed their graphs and dials into a webpage. The graphics are a bit meh though.

To connect to Adafruit.io, you will to get an account with https://io.adafruit.com and store your username and password in the settings as the IO_USERNAME and IO_KEY keys (make sure your key is in env.local). Also create a feed and update the feed key in the example below.

I use Adafruit IO. You can publish values via MQTT (or HTTP if you like) and view graphs etc on the website. https://io.adafruit.com/
