NOTICE: Due to changes to the Thingspeak pricing model, the Thingspeak Plugin has been deprecated. I will continue to fix bugs and answer questions, but all feature development has stopped.

The Thingspeak plugin allows users to create Indigo Home Control Server devices which provide a facility to upload Indigo data to Thingspeak for charting and other purposes.

Each individual device can contain up to eight data elements for upload. There is no limit to the number of Thingspeak Channels that the plugin can support.
