Hi,

It is surely very simple, but I search and i don't find.

I have a Zwave multisensor (temperature, humidity, ultraviolet, luminance..) that is recognize by my USB Zwave controleur on my Rasperry.

I can see it in Node-Red panel

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/6/61efaee845b1c1087a70627b9c5a62fa14447e38.png)

But I don't know how can I integrate a jauge (UI - interface graphique) use with my temperature sensor.

Somebody has an exemple of node with Node-Red that i have to do ?

Thanks for your help

</div>

Try to put a Json node between the Zwave-in and the gauge and on the gauge set to {{msg.payload.value}} or maybe {{msg.payload.value.value}}

Gve it a try while some expert will give you a most adequate answer maybe.

I see..,

I'm looking for the correct json code..  
I' come back soon...😉

I don't know what you set exactly on the function but if you try directly something like what I posted you with the screenshots will work most probably.

What you see on the debut after your function?

So, I will see tomorrow.

I think it's just my json fonction that is not correct.

Good night and thanks for your help.

I think I have created a inject node with your proper structure, give this a try to see if it helps to better understand or helps somehow

```auto
[{"id":"6314ec96.230b94","type":"inject","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","topic":"","payload":"{\"value\":{\"value\":\"7\"}}","payloadType":"json","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":160,"y":600,"wires":[["32382e0c.4c5602","5b78cd5a.f54584"]]},{"id":"32382e0c.4c5602","type":"debug","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","x":390,"y":580,"wires":[]},{"id":"57c6ff06.9f1be","type":"ui_gauge","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","group":"b965a9b0.dec558","order":0,"width":0,"height":0,"gtype":"gage","title":"gauge","label":"units","format":"{{msg.payload.value}}","min":0,"max":10,"colors":["#00b500","#e6e600","#ca3838"],"seg1":"","seg2":"","x":590,"y":660,"wires":[]},{"id":"43be6616.519048","type":"inject","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","topic":"","payload":"{\"value\":{\"value\":\"5\"}}","payloadType":"json","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":160,"y":660,"wires":[["5b78cd5a.f54584"]]},{"id":"5b78cd5a.f54584","type":"function","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"var","func":"var temp;\ntemp = msg.payload.value;\nmsg.payload = temp;\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":370,"y":620,"wires":[["432b80a.f376a8","57c6ff06.9f1be"]]},{"id":"432b80a.f376a8","type":"debug","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","x":640,"y":620,"wires":[]},{"id":"b965a9b0.dec558","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Menu","tab":"7bce52b3.7d109c","disp":true,"width":"6","collapse":false},{"id":"7bce52b3.7d109c","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"Home","icon":"dashboard"}]

```

In case you should filter depending on the label, as example:

```auto
[{"id":"6314ec96.230b94","type":"inject","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"temperature:7","topic":"","payload":"{\"value\":{\"value\":\"7\",\"label\":\"temperature\"}}","payloadType":"json","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":130,"y":600,"wires":[["32382e0c.4c5602","e0aecf6c.7ba5b"]]},{"id":"32382e0c.4c5602","type":"debug","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","x":390,"y":580,"wires":[]},{"id":"57c6ff06.9f1be","type":"ui_gauge","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","group":"b965a9b0.dec558","order":0,"width":0,"height":0,"gtype":"gage","title":"gauge","label":"units","format":"{{msg.payload.value}}","min":0,"max":10,"colors":["#00b500","#e6e600","#ca3838"],"seg1":"","seg2":"","x":590,"y":680,"wires":[]},{"id":"43be6616.519048","type":"inject","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"temperature:5","topic":"","payload":"{\"value\":{\"value\":\"5\",\"label\":\"temperature\"}}","payloadType":"json","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":130,"y":660,"wires":[["e0aecf6c.7ba5b"]]},{"id":"5b78cd5a.f54584","type":"function","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"var","func":"var temp;\ntemp = msg.payload.value\nmsg.payload = temp;\n\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":450,"y":680,"wires":[["432b80a.f376a8","57c6ff06.9f1be"]]},{"id":"432b80a.f376a8","type":"debug","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","x":610,"y":620,"wires":[]},{"id":"30c080e1.1688c","type":"inject","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"humidity:50","topic":"","payload":"{\"value\":{\"value\":\"50\",\"label\":\"humidity\"}}","payloadType":"json","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":130,"y":540,"wires":[["e0aecf6c.7ba5b","32382e0c.4c5602"]]},{"id":"e0aecf6c.7ba5b","type":"switch","z":"fff2015f.77964","name":"","property":"payload.value.label","propertyType":"msg","rules":[{"t":"eq","v":"temperature","vt":"str"}],"checkall":"true","repair":false,"outputs":1,"x":300,"y":680,"wires":[["5b78cd5a.f54584"]]},{"id":"b965a9b0.dec558","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Menu","tab":"7bce52b3.7d109c","disp":true,"width":"6","collapse":false},{"id":"7bce52b3.7d109c","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"Home","icon":"dashboard"}]

```

This last one as you told there is a combined sensor and I guess it will give you as "value" changing the "label" but this is just an assumption....

Thank you for that.

It help me to understund something.  
Now, Inject node is ok for me.

I just have to understand how can i catch my temperature in the node.  
Could you see me your json code ?

</div>

The `zwave-in` output is already an object, so you don't need the`json-node`.

I use `msg.payload.currState` to get the temperature.

The `zwave-in`is wired to a `switch`to select your value-id `3-49-1-1`and the output is wired to the `gauge`

Check the zwave-controller (my port is: `/dev/ttyACM0`)

Thank you verry much !  
But it doesn't work yet.  
I copied your flow and put on ttyACM0 controler but the pb is always present.

I understund well what i have to do, but my gauge doesn't work..  
It should work..

First at all, if you bring any node to flow, you should carefully read the node info. Mostly it has info about basic behavior and what kind of input and output you may expect from the node.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/f/fa799a3109dbacce3e3ab451e3c642d9a6e8bd59.png)

So the gauge node expects **NUMERIC** value from incoming `message.payload`  
By using debug node you can see your input. Is it a number?

Then in gauge node configuration

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/8/8aa0773ca598283f03113e0e329894839e840602.png)

The name of the field says **Value format** and it does what it says. It formats the value. It does not search the value from the object you trying to send to gauge.

Delete everything from **Value format** field and be sure that your input `msg.payload` is number.

??? I've tested the flow and it works perfectly for me!
