The easiest way to send values to Ubidots is by specifying your Device Label in the request path and making a POST request to it.

Replace {DEVICE_LABEL} with the unique label of the device you want to send data to. If the device does not yet exist in your Ubidots account, it will be automatically provisioned. Device labels may contain any alphanumerical character without blank spaces, i.e weather-station, my-home, esp8266.

To set variable values, just create a JSON data payload as below:

{"variable-label": VALUE}

{
		"variable-label-1": 
				{"value": VALUE, "timestamp": TIMESTAMP, "context": {"key": CONTEXT_VALUE}},
		"variable-label-2": 
				{"value": VALUE, "timestamp": TIMESTAMP, "context": {"key": CONTEXT_VALUE}},
		... ,
		... ,

		"variable-label-n": 
				{"value": VALUE, "timestamp": TIMESTAMP, "context": {"key": CONTEXT_VALUE}}
}

Examples

{"temperature": 27}

{"temperature": 27, "humidity": 55, ... ,"pressure": 78}

{"position": {"value" : 1, "timestamp": 1514808000000, "context":{"lat":-6.2, "lng":75.4, "name" : "John"}}}

{
  "temperature":
			{
        "value": 27, 
        "timestamp": 1514808000000
      }, 
  "humidity": 55, 
  "pressure": 
  		{
        "value": 78, 
         "context":
        		{
              "name" : "John"
            }
      }
}
