Just try to create a production environment for your test.

I don't know how you are testing this page.

But, try to init the project and click on the "On", close and click on the "Off", because probably your end-user will not click both.

Let me know.

Hi Jefferesen

Well i dont know, but sure bit by bit we are getting somewhere. Before i was not able to get any response only authentication not being found, 404 status. Now see below, response is the same with field8=0, field8=1. But now field8=1 does not update or send message to my tera term as being 1. Will show you both screen shots;

Its the same with my channel, as to say if my back end behaves the same as front end;

I was thinking about GET or POST in your Ajax, and I found this:

If the service associated with the processing of a form has side effects (for example, modification of a database or subscription to a service), the method should be POST.

at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/715335/get-vs-post-in-ajax

so try use POST, instead GET:

type: 'POST',

field8=1 only now does not update, before it was updating twice. the requirement that it should update once because the state of the button is true(1) not null(0) off button. I hope i making sense here. My logic should be similar when turning a light when it is on and when it is off, it shoulbe off completely. What we trying to do here is the same real problem for bulb scenario.

// button click functionality here.

$(document).ready(

function () {

$.ajax({

url: 'https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=DLQ0F7W5FGVO1I9Q&field8=0',

type: 'GET',

data: {

format: 'text'

},

success: function (response) {

alert(response);

},

error: function () {

$('#error').text("There was an error processing your request.Please try again");

$('#singlebutton').append(data);

}

});

}

,

function() {

$.ajax({

url: 'https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=DLQ0F7W5FGVO1I9Q&field8=1',

type: 'GET',

data: {

format: 'text'

},

success: function (response) {

alert(response);

},

error: function () {

$('#error').text("There was an error processing your request.Please try again");

$('#singlebtn').append(data);

}

});

}

);

What the code now, it only those fields, but the field8=1 must update once so that i can view that update from my channel on thingspeak. I can only see field8=0 for my channel, so its missing so logic again. Please assist i am almost there as to say, thanks.

Hi, can you share your code again to analyze?

Hi Jefferson

Ok the field8=0 does work, but now field8=1 should update only once, it does not. Need to figure it that out based on this new implementation. Meaning field8=1 on my URL from Ajax call should do the call once, so that can view this request on my channel on thingspeak, only field8=0 does that.

Jefferson S. Motta6y ago

Yes, they will work, can't you test before production?

I meant to say will my both buttons work, with this new logic implemented? on my tag attribute for html i reference tag ID and on my function in javascript, i am using those for onclick invoke.

"both button be trigger during an Ajax call request"? Sorry, why is that?

Guest User6y ago

Hi Jefferson

Ok that could work, but the problem is can my both button be trigger during an Ajax call request?

Jefferson S. Motta6y ago

I fixed your Ajax init, try this:

I initialized both Ajax in the .ready!

"https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js">

The button have different ID attribute, so in my Ajax call i am calling them both, each URL last field8=0 on call is passed to my thingspeak channel, this is not updating any value, but it gets mismatched from other function. Which i dont want that its an issue i am having currently.

Jefferson S. Motta6y ago

Is the same button for both script?

Guest User6y ago

I have commented the instance object with its function out, still stuck. Both my buttons do the mismatched, meaning if i click Subscribe button execute first with correct value. The second time invoke it, it must not update it at all. That is what i want to achieve it here.

Jefferson S. Motta6y ago

at this line you create and terminate the timer, it will not run:

var h = setTimeout("Subscribe()", 100);

clearTimeout(h);

Sorry had a work around to this, i am bit far so far. Currently i want my field8=1 not to update twice when button is invoked, same applies with field8=0 on URL from Ajax call function. So far what the Ajax call does it does the mismatch between the values, e.g if the button on Subscribe is click either default to 0 and vice versa.

Hi,

this happens because you can have only one Ajax call at time.

You need put setTimeout("callFunc2()",100); in the end of the first call response and callFunc2 execute the second Ajax.

best,

Jeff
