    Hi @cameronlight, gosh fascinating to do some lateral thinking.

    You would need to publish your whole program – preferably on a traceable git, like github.com.

    The challenge in software is abstracting the complicated stuff (service layers) to make it look simple by encapsulating it into a simple interface.

    Its always fascinating when someone knows enough to be able to use some new “libs” to do some magic.

    From knowing modular sensors architecture – though I haven’t touched for a couple of years after I ran out of program space on the Mayfly – what you are looking to do is create a new publisher for the “POST to a private Google Script webhook.” That is it needs to be the service layer for POSTing to your chosen destination.

    As you are identifying, there are a lot of infrastructure layers to keep the Mayfly on a low power even keel.    As is often said, you learn more by your failures.

    Of course when it all works its nice  to describe it for others to discuss/try. 🙂
