Hello, I have a small problem. I built a flow with which data from a temperature sensor can be written to an InfluxDB and displayed in Grafana.  
The payload that is passed from the functions note into the DB looks like this.  
{"eui":"temp001","temperature":21.8,"humidity":"NULL","battery":3.371}  
The Gauge Node (ui-gauge) from Node Red Dashboard does not accept the temperature value. Why? What am I doing wrong?

What gauge node, what dashboard?

At a guess I assume node-red-dashboard.  
If so you have two options  
move `msg.payload.temperature` to `msg.payload`.  
or change the value format field to  
`{{msg.payload.temperature}}`

Failing this please supply more info.

YEEES....  
changing the value format field to {{msg.payload.temperature}} didn't work, but moving ( Change Node) msg.payload.temperature to msg.payload. Can you explain that to me. Thank you

Try spelling temperature correctly, and then mark the post with the correct solution/s
