You may get some benefit watching these [essentials videos](https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6&v=ksGeUD26Mw0&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fnodered.org%2F&source_ve_path=OTY3MTQ&feature=emb_imp_woyt) as a beginner.

You can also retrieve the path to any message property using the side bar debug.

There’s a great page in the docs ([Working with messages : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/messages)) that will explain how to use the debug panel to find the right path to any data item.

Pay particular attention to the part about the buttons that appear under your mouse pointer when you over hover a debug message property in the sidebar.

As to your issue, in the value format field you can enter the path to the property `Temperature` like so

```auto
{{msg.payload.Temperature}}

```

You can even format it using

```auto
{{msg.payload.Temperature | number : 1}}

```

which will format to 1 decimal places

Use a change node to copy the property  
you want to msg.payload (before the gauge).

  

Tbh, this is really basic/beginner stuff but important knowledge to get pretty much anything out of Node-RED so here is some info for you to absorb...

### Always get the correct path to a property in a message:

### Great for beginners:

I recommend watching this playlist: [Node-RED Essentials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6). The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.
