Can someone help me as a beginner?
Nice to meet you! I'm a Japanese person who recently started using ChipChop.io.
I watched the tutorial and learned how to connect the ESP32 and DHT11, and tried programming using the Arduino IED, but it seems I made a mistake somewhere.
If anyone has any images or information needed to solve the problem, I'd be happy to share them, so could someone please help?
I used Google Translate to translate from Japanese to English, so some sentences may be a little difficult to understand.

Hi Haruto,

It looks like your device is connecting to ChipChop but not sending the status for the sensor and that is why you see the message "Nothing to display, device never sent its status"

There could be two reasons for that:

1. You are sending the status but the component name is wrong

For example this would not work: You named the DHT11 component in the Dev Console "dht_sensor" but you send the status - ChipChop.updateStatus("humidity_sensor", ...)
The name of the component has to match exactly in the code and in the Dev Console otherwise the ChipChop server has no idea what status you are sending and will ignore it.

2. You are not doing anywhere in code ChipChop.updateStatus("component_name", value) so ChipChop server is not receiving any information from your device and it can not display it
(ChipChop will detect if the device is connected but it's waiting to receive some status)

Can you post your code here and also what did you call the DHT11 component?
If you are posting the code here make sure to delete the connection details (server_uri, uuid and auth_code)

Hopefully you can translate this :-)
