Using reporter to Emoncms.org with emoncms on linux hosting

So I am trying to make my local emoncms system to report to emoncms.org. 
I installed the emoncms latest stable version on my Synology Nas with "Apache HTTP/1.1 CGI/1.1 80".
I also installed some modules they all work. 

Now I would like to link this local version to the online emoncms.org.
I already tried to install the emonhub as a module but I don't know if this is the right way.
added my emoncms.org api key to the emonhub settings file.
 

But this doesn't seem to work. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Where is your data coming from?

emonhub is intended to collate data and forward to one or more emoncms instances, if you are sending data directly to an emoncms instance then emonhub isn't in play.

"install the emonhub as a module" sounds like you have installed it to the modules folder which isn't right, emonhub is not part of emoncms it is independent. emonhub and emoncms can (and usually are) be installed to the same machine no problem but they are actually independent of each other, (not so much the emon-pi variant of emonhub). 

Which guide did you follow to install emoncms? the official guide uses the emonhub installer script from the emonhub repo, this is written for "Wheezy" and works on "Jessie", you may need to look at the script and apply steps more tailored to your setup.

Thanks for you reply. I think I understand now. My data is coming from a Particle photon who is connected to the web and uses the input api. 

So if I understand correctly the right way to use 2 instances of emoncms is to configure my Particle photon to send the data to both emoncms instances. Why didn't I think of that before...
