I'm seeing a similar issue when posting to ThingSpeak.
Initially everything works ok. I'm getting a soil moisture from a hygrometer and successfully post to the API. However, after some time it simply jumps to "disconnection" instead of going to my "connection" callback and doesn't send the data. I left it running all night and it occasionally works again but normally only once or twice.
My code is as such:
I've tried everything i can think of and many code examples from the web. Any idea what could be doing this? Their API limit is 15 seconds so i don't think it's that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

connout = net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)
print("Moisture:"..adc.read(0)..".")
connout:on("receive", function(connout, payloadout)
if (string.find(payloadout, "Status: 200 OK") ~= nil) then
print("Posted OK");
end
end)
connout:on("connection", function(connout, payloadout)
print ("Posting...");

collectgarbage();

print("Starting...");
connout:connect(80,'184.106.153.149')
