@Marv

As previously stated in other posts, the info you are providing is not helpful for us to provide an answer that is of benefit to you.

Instead of a photo, please paste the payload here - we really cant help you without data to test/have a good look at

```
Paste Here
```

The Programm: First Timestamp function - then the http request function (with the right link inside)-Then the Switch function with msg.payload and the the gauge function-

Now I want to read out the Right string with the gauge but i dont know how to find out which String number which Text is.

I'll try again...

:point_up:

Here is how to copy the payload (the one you need help with please)

Nov-01-2023 18-37-53

Then paste

```
JSON Here
```

{"observations":[{"stationID":"IIBBEN109","obsTimeUtc":"2023-11-01T18:51:52Z","obsTimeLocal":"2023-11-01 19:51:52","neighborhood":"Schafberg","softwareType":"EasyWeatherV1.6.6","country":"DE","solarRadiation":0.0,"lon":7.731,"realtimeFrequency":null,"epoch":1698864712,"lat":52.298,"uv":0.0,"winddir":164,"humidity":80,"qcStatus":1,"metric":{"temp":12,"heatIndex":12,"dewpt":9,"windChill":12,"windSpeed":16,"windGust":23,"pressure":997.33,"precipRate":0.00,"precipTotal":5.69,"elev":152}}]}
sorry i didnt get it hope this ist right

Other than not formatting it

```
JSON HERE
```

what you could do is use a change Node (importable example below - based on the payload provided)

Connect this change Node to the dashboard element that needs it (Note: I do not use dashboard)

[{"id":"f8fca14a10134ec0","type":"inject","z":"2d7bf6e3.84c97a","name":"Push Me (example payload)","props":[{"p":"payload"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"{\"observations\":[{\"stationID\":\"IIBBEN109\",\"obsTimeUtc\":\"2023-11-01T18:51:52Z\",\"obsTimeLocal\":\"2023-11-01 19:51:52\",\"neighborhood\":\"Schafberg\",\"softwareType\":\"EasyWeatherV1.6.6\",\"country\":\"DE\",\"solarRadiation\":0,\"lon\":7.731,\"realtimeFrequency\":null,\"epoch\":1698864712,\"lat\":52.298,\"uv\":0,\"winddir\":164,\"humidity\":80,\"qcStatus\":1,\"metric\":{\"temp\":12,\"heatIndex\":12,\"dewpt\":9,\"windChill\":12,\"windSpeed\":16,\"windGust\":23,\"pressure\":997.33,\"precipRate\":0,\"precipTotal\":5.69,\"elev\":152}}]}","payloadType":"json","x":360,"y":790,"wires":[["c8dafe881312fd2a"]]},{"id":"f9846083c478b5bd","type":"debug","z":"2d7bf6e3.84c97a","name":"debug 377","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":true,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"payload","statusType":"auto","x":765,"y":790,"wires":[]},{"id":"c8dafe881312fd2a","type":"change","z":"2d7bf6e3.84c97a","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"originalPayload","pt":"msg","to":"payload","tot":"msg"},{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"payload.observations[0].metric.temp","tot":"msg"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":560,"y":790,"wires":[["f9846083c478b5bd"]]}]

If you set the http request node to return a parsed JSON object, you can then use
{{msg.payload.observations[0].metric.temp}} in the gauge node.

You can retrieve the path using the copy path icon next to the copy value icon @marcus-j-davies showed you in the post 4 .

Sorry i didnt get it could you maybe describe it a little bit more newcomer comform
Where do i have to do what with the change node ?

  1. Set the HTTP request node to output a JSON Object
  2. Connect this request node directly to the gauge node
  3. The value for the gauge node be set to.
    {{msg.payload.observations[0].metric.temp}}

If I have that correct - I do not use dashbard myself.

@E1cid
Do you have to include msg in dashboard for the value param?

Yes as it is using angular js, not mustache.

@Marv, select it using ruckabe which translates to return i believe.
