- Thu Nov 05, 2015 2:52 am #33100 Thingspeak can do that too. Just create a talkback plugin. Write stuff to your talkback (you get an ID and a KEY), and have your ESP query your talkback each minute by the "execute" command.
Example, you need your ESP to OPEN the door. Write a new command (several ways to do this, via phone app, via HTTP POST, or in the website) with "OPEN" to your talkback channel.
Program you ESP to do a get ...thingspeak/talkback/id/.../key.... and check if the resulting string is "OPEN", in which case, turn a solenoid on.

This the best option and also try to explore other app's in ThingSpeak. I have used all app's for my projects.
