Dear community,

I want to read the information from SNZB02 temperature sensor and display all the components on different debug blocks to be able later to display them on gauges.  
How can I do to split the temperature, humidity, battery and voltage if the structure of the message is this?

topic: "zigbee2mqtt/Temp"  
payload: "{"battery":100,"humidity":52.31,"linkquality":174,"temperature":27.46,"voltage":3200}"

If you are using an `mqtt-in` node to get the data, set the 'output' option

Otherwise pass the data thru a `json` node.

Hi Zenofmud,

Thanks for your reply!  
Could you please provide more details about? I'm a beginner in Node-Red.  
I want to do similar like in this movie but the structure of the message is different from the one that I receive. [Node-Red : DHT11 on RaspberryPi - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AprmCrSZXEw&t=587s)

Did you set the output in the mqtt node to Parsed JSON?

Export your flow and attach it to a reply so we can see what you are doing.

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)

````auto
``` 
   code goes here 
```

````

You can edit and correct your post by clicking the pencil ✏ icon.

See this post for more details - [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)

I recommend watching this playlist: [Node-RED Essentials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6). The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.

Here is an example, you can round the values using [Angular decimal pipeline](https://angular.io/api/common/DecimalPipe#usage-notes) in the gauge value format field.  
You will require Node-red Dashboard installed.

```auto
[{"id":"236c235d1f996813","type":"mqtt in","z":"93fbd86d11d1dc72","name":"","topic":"zigbee2mqtt/Temp","qos":"2","datatype":"json","broker":"a9414e3e953aa69a","nl":false,"rap":true,"rh":0,"x":330,"y":140,"wires":[["8dd78029.351048","8c7636543b5986f8"]]},{"id":"8dd78029.351048","type":"ui_gauge","z":"93fbd86d11d1dc72","name":"","group":"2d4fe667.28f8ba","order":9,"width":0,"height":0,"gtype":"gage","title":"Temp","label":"","format":"{{msg.payload.temperature | number : 0}} °C","min":0,"max":"140","colors":["#00b500","#e6e600","#ca3838"],"seg1":"","seg2":"","className":"","x":680,"y":160,"wires":[]},{"id":"8c7636543b5986f8","type":"debug","z":"93fbd86d11d1dc72","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"payload","targetType":"msg","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":590,"y":280,"wires":[]},{"id":"a695eeeb.5622a","type":"inject","z":"93fbd86d11d1dc72","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"{\"battery\":100,\"humidity\":52.31,\"linkquality\":174,\"temperature\":27.46,\"voltage\":3200}","payloadType":"json","x":340,"y":240,"wires":[["8dd78029.351048","8c7636543b5986f8"]]},{"id":"a9414e3e953aa69a","type":"mqtt-broker","name":"","broker":"localhost","port":"1883","clientid":"","usetls":false,"protocolVersion":"4","keepalive":"60","cleansession":true,"birthTopic":"","birthQos":"0","birthPayload":"","birthMsg":{},"closeTopic":"","closeQos":"0","closePayload":"","closeMsg":{},"willTopic":"","willQos":"0","willPayload":"","willMsg":{},"sessionExpiry":""},{"id":"2d4fe667.28f8ba","type":"ui_group","name":"demo","tab":"1caa8458.b17814","order":1,"disp":true,"width":"12","collapse":false},{"id":"1caa8458.b17814","type":"ui_tab","name":"Demo","icon":"dashboard","order":1,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

```

You can do similar for all your other readings you wish to display in a gauge.
