hello !  
im new at working with node red and i want to see the value of temperature in the dashboard, im using this type of sensor , [https://www.akcp.com/products/intelligent-sensors/single-port-temperature-humidity-sensor/](https://www.akcp.com/products/intelligent-sensors/single-port-temperature-humidity-sensor/) , connected with this sensorprobe2 through an RJ45 [https://www.akcp.com/products/sensorprobe-series/sensorprobe2/](https://www.akcp.com/products/sensorprobe-series/sensorprobe2/) , im using ADAM 6050 to control this project.  
what should i do ?

</div>

step 1 would be to try and access the data through node-red. how can you access the data?

If you need help it’s useful to say which bit of your task you are stuck on.

If you can get the data into Node-RED, which bit can’t you do?

Add a debug to what you have and post the results here. The dashboard nodes explain what format they need the data in

As you say, that device is digital I/O not temperature. If you want to display temperature you will have to use a sensor that measures temperature.

Well the sensorprobe web page describes it as having both a web interface and an snmp interface so you may be able to use either the http-request node to interrogate the web interface or the snmp node ([http://flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org)) to ask it for snmp info.

But if you already have the info (where you said you "already did that") - can you pass it to a debug node to show us what you have got so far ?

Or do you mean that the temperature value is encoded in the digital signal, in which case, as Dave suggests, show us what data you are getting from it.
