    noob needing help with arduino api

    I just bought the arduino plugin and started getting into arduino, I have a couple of nodemcu boards setup with temp.

    I got this sketch off the net, by itself it works fine. however, I need some help with this api sketch for an accelerometer I am unsure what/how exactly to send the data to homeseer.

    nobody can explain to a noob what needs to be sent to hs??

        Have you tried something very simple say just sending a value, like
        SendToHS(1,10)

        with no other code to complicate things. If that works then start adding your code back in to see what causes it not to work.

        If that does not work then it should be much easier to troubleshoot.
