Thingspeak write error

Configuration
1

I’ve been trying to hook up Thingspeak to monitor the power that goes through a wall plug I use, but something’s going wrong. I’ve double checked my configuration, API keys and channel id. In the log I can see it’s trying to post the right value, but it just gives back:
17-01-04 23:06:17 homeassistant.components.thingspeak: Error while sending value ‘11.1’ to Thingspeak

What is going wrong here? To be sure, here’s the configuration:

thingspeak:
  api_key: XXXXG6G5IC4WXXXX
  id: 210XXX
  whitelist: sensor.fibaro_system_fgwpe_wall_plug_power_2_4

X’s for obvious reasons.

Thanks!

I tried using the account API key, from that I get a specific response that my API key or Channel ID is incorrect. From that I assume that using the correct key HA can make a connection to the channel, but is unable to post the value…

any progress?
even with HA 0.36.1 I still have
17-01-24 22:14:51 homeassistant.components.thingspeak: Error while sending value '21.0' to Thingspeak

ChannelID and api_key is correct, because command
wget -q -O- "http://api.thingspeak.com/update?key=QC......8G&field1=21.0"

works :frowning:
