hi, I read temperature data from my channel with this code;

long temp = ThingSpeak.readLongField(counterChannelNumber, FieldNumber1, myCounterReadAPIKey);

The result in my chart of n the portal is “16,7” but the result from my code is “16” although I expect from “readLongField” the “long” version and not the integer version.

What and where does something go wrong?

I believe it is the separator being used -- 16,7 instead of 16.7

Thanks Vinod, you triggered my thoughts and I found another function.

I am using ThingSpeak.readFloatField now and get “16.70” as result.

Documentation:
https://github.com/mathworks/thingspeak-arduino/blob/master/README.md

To get rid of the trailing digit I used this code;

tempKelderStr.concat(tempKelder); // float to string
tempKelderStr.remove(tempKelderStr.length() - 1, 1); //remove trailing digit
