Monitor sensor-data for regular intervals

Mark Simons

Is it possible to let my twine send / store / publish / save / whatever the temperature or the orientation every "X" timeframe? I really dont know how this could be programmed but for example id like a temperature-curve which data is stored in a spreadsheet. Are there web-based-solutions that can be feeded by twines sensor-output?

I, like many others, was surprised to learn there was no "regular interval" condition that ships with Twine as of today.  

I have limited coding experience but because there is no Twine API available there is no way to extend Twine to even begin to develop new rules. 

I disagree with a 'subscription' add on or whatever just to get a regular interval rule. There is already ThingSpeak.com to plot the temps, handle the data import and even embed an iframe of the data on your website, app or whatever. We don't need a special dedicated SuperMechincal graph...Here is the link to plot temps as their example if you haven't read it yet.

I hope more rules are released for FREE soon.

John said they are working to deliver this tracking and reporting feature via a subscription add-on.

"Subscription" sounds like something i have to pay for. Hope i'm not right...

Sounds creepy

yes creepy and failure of devices that start off fun and free to use than they charge when little enhancements take place.

You can always use the JSON data directly giving the status of the twine.  Take a look here for a few ideas on using it:
