It supports private channels for collecting data and public channels for sharing it, with RESTful and MQTT APIs for device communication.
Core capabilities include MATLAB analytics and visualizations, event scheduling, alerts, and app integrations. Its apps cover analytics (MATLAB Analysis, MATLAB Visualizations, Plugins) and actions (ThingHTTP, TimeControl, React, TalkBack). ThingSpeak works with MATLAB and Simulink, Arduino, Particle devices, ESP8266 and ESP32 WiFi modules, Raspberry Pi, LoRaWAN, The Things Network, Senet, Libelium, and Beckhoff.
ThingSpeak is available as a free service for non-commercial small projects within a message limit. Larger or commercial projects use annual licenses in four types: Standard, Academic, Student, and Home, each with its own usage terms. Licenses are purchased in units, where each unit covers a set number of messages processed and stored over a one-year period and allows a fixed number of channels.
