Modbus/Arrays extract divide and give in stream

I don't understand how to grab and
divide array
He comes in the form

msg.payload : Object
object
data: array[2]
0: 317
1: 205
buffer: buffer[4]raw
0: 0x1
1: 0x3d
2: 0x0
3: 0xcd

I need to consistently pull out the data temperature and humidity.
How do I write a function?
What I wrote does not work...
FunctionBlock
{
...
var TH = [ ];
for (var i=0;i<10;i++)
{
TH[i] = { payload: msg.payload[i] };
}
return TH;
...
}

I would use the helper functions provided by the NodeJS buffer in msg.payload.buffer.

As far as I remember Modbus uses Big Endian, so readInt16BE() might be used in this case.

Have a look at https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v8.x/api/buffer.html.

EDIT: Have a look at the array msg.payload.data. These seem to already contain the decoded values of your Modbus registers, so you can use them directly.

Something like:

let temp = msg.payload.data[0];
let humidity = msg.payload.data[1];

The rest depends on what you want to do with these values.

"TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined"

I can't open an array yet.
But if remove the function, the array comes entire [ ccc , hhh ]
...
I don’t know how to pull these numbers out of the array. =(

Did you realise you have posted a flow containing just a debug node and nothing else?
See here for how to post a flow in this forum.

Ok! Everything worked out! Address for my device = 50 (d)
