I am trying to put the Pi Temp on the tool bar. I have used several templates that I pulled from the web to no avail. Currently I found one that looked promising but it does not render anything on the tool bar. [image] I am watching the output in debug and I see: path = payload value = 31.…

I think I found this in another post [ { "id": "fad1640e.39cf78", "type": "inject", "z": "68bac6fc.a91c88", "name": "", "props": [ { "p": "payload", "v": "true", "vt": "bool" }, …

Buckskin All I see is a CPU temp sent to an MQTT server. Did you send the current flow? Alan

[image] Mick: vcgencmd measure_temp I am just executing the vcgencmd measure_temp command to get the result

There should be a Debug node. Activate the output and check the debug message

OK, thanks. Hoping to get a template script to get the result into the tool bar. Alan

I have python scripts or NR flows (depending on the device) that capture the processor temperature, and forward this information via MQTT to a central NR instance. That same central NR instance, can by schedule or on-demand send MQTT message (i.e. command) to tell the remote device to send back its…

Thanks. So the MQTT broker essentially takes the msg.payload and makes it available to the system (i.e variable)?

Mick I use "Mosquito" as my MQTT broker installed on one of my Raspberry Pis. Google mosquito MQTT and you will get the install command. Easy. No additional setup required. On Node-Red, use the MQTT in or out nodes pointed to/from the IP:port of the MQTT broker. You can now share messages to a…

I haven't done this myself, but this thread has some examples intended to do similar things. I would start by importing one of those and make sure it works as given, then amend it in small steps to get what you want. If it stops working then you know that the step you have just made is not correct. Set a logo in the title bar?
