guys my zapier is not receiving anything at all when I upload my code neither is the graph site. when I upload my code the serial monitor shows "Connecting to wifi:wifi name" and then nothing.

This project is great but I am a beginner. I have an issue at the beginning : just after the wifi connection is etablished, I see : "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Wed, 09 May 2018 21:47:46 GMT P3P: CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT" Response-Id: 5af36c82-2bbd-490f-a527-644410ca40c0 Server: nginx Set-Cookie: zapsession=8t217gvgf81jtes8cfol6tw4mhit9o61; expires=Wed, 16-May-2018 21:47:46 GMT; httponly; Max-Age=604800; Path=/; secure Set-Cookie: zapforeversession=hdp32cpq9t7akq047ox4snb0cdz4mkju; expires=Thu, 09-May-2019 21:47:46 GMT; Max-Age=31536000; Path=/; secure Vary: X-Session-Key X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-Session-Key: 8t217gvgf81jtes8cfol6tw4mhit9o61 X-Zapier-Jobs: Woooo, a hacker like yourself should consider working at Zapier!

Thanks :)

The Project has been revised with new Zapier screen captures and Skeches fixes to avoid ambiguities. Tested for compilation and full functionalities.

Is it okay to use Arduino Uno baord for this circuit ?, provided I am not damaging the uno board.

I Have the Same Error, i can´t connect with zapier. I think because the catch hook does not confirm the test, but I dont know how to close this cicle. My web hook only shows: Here is a sample we‘ve collected so far.Pick 1 to set up your zap Help!

I finally solved out the message error ("Failed to connect to client" ) There was a little syntax error in the following line: Line with error: client.println("POST " + httpsRequest + "temperature=" + _temperature + "&moisture=" + _moisture + "&light=" + _light + "&warning=" + _warning + " HTTP/1.1"); The character ? was forgotten before temperature ===> so you must write: ?temperature instead of temperature: So the full code line with good syntax is finally: The solution is: client.println("POST " + httpsRequest + "?temperature=" + _temperature + "&moisture=" + _moisture + "&light=" + _light + "&warning=" + _warning + " HTTP/1.1"); httpsRequest is the given url by zapper: example for httpsRequest https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/55555/66666RI/ This solution worked great for me i hope my solution will help someone

Yeah, I am also getting the same issue with the Zapier, the "Failed to connect to client" for the wifi hook up is the error message. Let me know if anyone figured it out.

I keep getting "Failed to connect to client" and I have tried everything.

On ThinkSpeak and Zapier I receive data only twice after I upload the sketch. I want to upload data every minute, the first two minutes are successful, after that my Serial monitor shows "message sent to cloud" every minute but nothing new shows up on TS. On Zapier the serial plotter shows failed to connect to client. If I unplug it and start again then I get 2 values before it stops again, please Help!

Hi all, I am having trouble updating the certificates to Wifi module using hooks.zapier.com:433. I have checked and updated the firmware version when setting up the MKR1000 board. I keep getting the following messages: - Connection timed out: connect - Upload error: hook.zapier.com - Upload error: arduino.cc Can anyone please offer any help/advice here? Thanks Joe

Great project - thanks Arduino! Does anyone know I can change the frequency of the emails from every second to once every 10mins? Thanks

The 'ProTip: Plot Values Using ThingSpeak' sample code to send data to ThingSpeak is missing the client initialisation in the setup() function. (it's only missing in the 'ProTip: Plot Values Using ThingSpeak' section, it's correct in the 'complete sketch' code) You'll need to add ```ThingSpeak.begin(ThingSpeakClient); ``` to the setup() function

SORRY, CAN I REPLACE MKR1000 BY ESP8266??

Amazing Project

There's a typo in the example code. Line 27 shows as `moistue` rather than `moisture`

Hi i am trying this project out and there is a problem. Every time i try to let arduino connect to zapier or other website like zapier, the arduino always said that it failed to send the data any help?

I get an the error message: "ssid" was not declared in the in scope. I am at the "Sending HTTP Request" stage. THere are a couple more that say the same thing... Any help is appreciated. Here's my code: I update it with my WIFI info and custom URL. #include <WiFi101.h> #include<WiFiSSLClient.h> const char* ssid = SECRET_SSID; // your network SSID (name) const char* password = SECRET_PSWD; // your network password String httpsRequest = SECRET_REQUEST; // your Zapier URL const char* host = "hooks.zapier.com"; WiFiSSLClient client; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); while (!Serial); delay(2000); Serial.print("Connecting Wifi: "); Serial.println(ssid); while (WiFi.begin(ssid, password) != WL_CONNECTED) { Serial.print("."); delay(500); } Serial.println(""); Serial.println("WiFi connected"); } void loop() { float temperature = 22; int moisture = 150; int light = 40; String warning = "This is a warning message"; warning.replace(" ", "%20"); send_email(temperature, moistue, light, warning ); delay(20000) } void send_email(float temperature, int moisture, int light, String warning) { // convert values to String String _temperature = String(temperature); String _moisture = String(moisture); String _light = String(light); String _warning = warning; if (client.connect(host, 443)) { client.println("POST " + httpsRequest + "?temperature=" + _temperature + "&moisture=" + _moisture + "&light=" + _light + "&warning=" + _warning + " HTTP/1.1"); client.println("Host: " + String(host)); client.println("Connection: close"); client.println(); delay(1000); while (client.available()) { // Print on the console the answer of the server char c = client.read(); Serial.write(c); } client.stop(); // Disconnect from the server } else { Serial.println("Failed to connect to client"); } }

Did anyone ever figure out why the program cannot connect to the client ("Failed to connect to client" error message)?

Hi Unfortunately I'm stuck while trying to upload the certificates to the wifi module. I get this error: "error while erasing flash memory" Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!!

Im stuck in the "sending HTTP request" step. I run the code and the connection succeeds, but it only sends mail to me once, it was supposed to do it every 20s. After that I get no second mail and Serial prints "Failed to connect the client". Any suggestions? Thank you.

I am also having problems trying to set up the webhook in Zapier. Each time I try to complete the Sample to Set Up Your Zap, after sending the URL request on another fresh webpage, the test always comes back with a “We had trouble finding a sample” message. Additionally, if I add on the extra Arduino request to the Zapier sample URL request given_URL?temperature=0&moisture=0&light=0&warning=0 on a new webpage it comes back with a 404 - error message. I have tried using Google Chrome, Firefox and Explorer and each server has the same problems. Because Arduino is selling this bundled kit, it would be good if their tutorial designers or support resolved some of these obstacles.

Have you tried to use a capacitive soil sensor? The "Giesomat" sensor will be your friend. No more metal ions in the soil.

Assuming is Sense the temperature and the temperature is too much what's going to happen and how to correct it. Please urgently answer

On ThinkSpeak I receive data only 2 times after I upload the sketch. I want to upload data every minute, the first two minutes are successful, after that my Serial monitor shows "message sent to cloud" every minute but nothing new shows up on TS. I also tried with another sketch that just generates numbers and uploads them on TS to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the sensors that I use in this project. With the sketch that generates random numbers and sends them to TS, I get the same outcome: data is uploaded first and second time, after that nothing. (Both sketches compiled without errors. Instead of using WiFi I also tried to make a hotspot from my phone - doesn't help either.) Thanks for any help!
