dtecres on Arduino Uno R3+W5100+LM35, Temperature not display in Thingspeak...

Hi cstapels,

I've found the cause of the data not able to update to Thingspeak. This is due to model DNS is not set to open DNS, after set to open DNS it works fine now.

However, it turned to not working back when I had added send email function when temperature over the threshold. I can't figure what went wrong and the response number returned after pushed the data to Thingspeak same as before added the send email function. 

Please help...

Thanks.

Best Regards,
