Hi,

I have quite a few temperature sensors in node and they all show different temperature to the native Xiaomi app.  
Humidity is spot on.

TIA

Is this a statement or is there a question?

If it is a question, how are you getting the data into Node-RED?  
If you are using a node, what is it's full name?  
What does the debug show?  
What does it show in the Xiaomi app?

It meant to be a question.  
I am using node-red-contrib-xiaomi-miio and temperature is showing via node 2-4 degrees lower than app.

that's debug:  
{"voltage":2995,"temperature":19.48,"humidity":41.47,"atmosphericPressure":"98280"}

no errors being reported.

Ok, the issue has been found.  
I have installed different Xiaomi node and all the values are good.

Do not use the miiO node!

you can rate the node on [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org) if you sign in with your github ID.  
But you should also open an issue on the nodes github page to notify the author so the issue can be fixed.

Which contrib node?

As an alternative see also [xiaomi-mqtt](https://github.com/cflurin/xiaomi-mqtt)

node-red-contrib-mi-devices, but again it is not working correctly.  
I've added few th sensors and the whole thing flipped out...

TypeError: Cannot read property 'status' of null  
at RED.nodes.eachNode (/home/pi/.node-red/node\_modules/node-red-contrib-mi-devices/node-red-contrib-xiaomi-gateway/xiaomi-gateway.js:103:41)  
at Object.eachNode (/usr/lib/node\_modules/node-red/red/runtime/nodes/flows/index.js:196:13)

I will try Xiaomi-mqtt

Thanks

But again, it’s worth opening an issue against the node so that the author is aware of the problems you experienced and can hopefully improve the node

@cismarine

I've tested several xiaomi contrib-nodes without success and I also asked the authors for help.  
The problem is that using `dgram` (in and out) isn't easy to do in node-red.  
In my opinion the best is to use an external app/package.
