Old Shelly addon works with command  
msg.payload = msg.status.ext\_temperature["1"].tC;

With the new shelly addon I would assume this command

**payload.temperature100.tC**

but it doesn't work. I've tried different variations but no luck.

e.g.

msg.payload = msg.status.temperature["100"].tC

msg.payload = msg.status.temperature100["100"].tC

Thanks in advance for the advice

Hi @Frantisek

In order to provide the help - please show us the incoming data and highlight what data you want from it.

Not a screen shot please , but an example payload 😃

There is no status property.  
Marcus asked for the debug value, which you can get as shown below.

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/value for 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.

The path to the property value should be some thing like `payload.temperature100.tc` You then prefix with `msg.`

Maybe you should reread my post.

Still not working.

Status is the status output from the shelly node.

With old version Shelly addon works with command  
msg.payload = msg.status.ext\_temperature["1"].tC;

Copy path old shelly temperature addon is:  
payload.ext.temperature["0"].tC

Copy of path is different than a function command

Miraculously, it works today. 🙂  
To get the value, the command works (as we all assumed yesterday)  
**msg.payload = msg.payload.temperature100.tC;**

Thanks E1cid and marcus-j-davies  
for your support in solving this mysterious problem. Thanks Frantisek

Finally I can use these variables from the gen2 shelly.
