How can I change the standard 15 s update time when using my own local Thingspeak server?

Hello everyone,

Reading the forums some time ago and finding out that the Thingspeak restriction of 15 s update time of the channel can be leveraged by using a local Thingspeak server, I decided to proceed with the installation of Thingserver using the resources on git. I have successfully installed the server, but I don't know which file(s) should I modify to obtain a lower update time for my channels. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anywhere info about it.

One second updates are only supported on the ThingSpeak service. To get the one-second update rate, you will need to purchase a ThingSpeak license. For more information, take a look at this page: https://thingspeak.com/prices

Hopefully, one second updates are supported also by Thingspeak server deployed locally. Fortunately, I succeeded in doing this by checking by myself the source files and changing the parameters.

Please, could you tell me what the source file and parameter to change the update time of local thingspeak server. I searched much time but I didn't find answer.

Hello, Abdo! You should go to initializers->constants.rb (update_rate_limit =’1’)

and then to app->views->charts->html.show.erb 15000->1000
