Send Bulk Sensor Data to ThingSpeak for Analysis

Many IoT projects collect data from a sensor and send the data to ThingSpeak at the same time over and over. To continuously collect and send data to the cloud requires the device to be powered and connected all of the time. A battery-powered IoT device like a Particle Photon or Onion Omega2 would run out of power quickly. There are many IoT applications where you want your IoT device to collect the data offline over a long period of time, then send the data all at once to ThingSpeak for analysis.

The ThingSpeak team at MathWorks is excited to announce Bulk-Update! This new ThingSpeak feature is targeted at IoT devices trying to optimize battery use by allowing the device to update a lot of data at once. To help you get started with bulk-update, we have written examples for Arduino, ESP8266, Particle Photon, and the Raspberry Pi 3.

Once your data is on ThingSpeak, it is easy to analyze using the MATLAB Analysis and Visualization apps within ThingSpeak, MATLAB Online, or Desktop MATLAB. To read data from ThingSpeak into MATLAB, use the ThingSpeak Support Toolbox and the thingSpeakRead command. We have released documentation and examples to help you get started with bulk-update on ThingSpeak.
