In reply to Hans.

Seeing possible random lock ups anywhere from a couple of hours to over 10

Or at least I thought they were.

Seems there may also be an issue with TS.
re-wrote debug output to tell me more about the connection itself.
Saw my debug was getting a connection to TS and sending data but my channel was reporting no data for (x) hours.

Going to scrub my DHT MKR data from TS and run a separate channel based on something much simpler to rule out the MKR.

What are you seeing happen? Mine runs for a long time without any issue.

OOPS it wasn’t that. I used your updated code and I still get random lockups. Dang this MKR it wont play nice at all.

So glad I found this reference. I think your INT to float fixed an issue I have been chasing for a while where the MKR just locks up.

I already wrote code for connecting the MKR1000 to Thingspeak with data from a dht11 months ago. See the 3rd and 4th programs down in my wireless repository. I had to write a rough string handler to handle the int to float conversion, as unlike the esp8266, the MKR1000 doesn’t seem to be able to handle that natively.
