This tutorial is part of a series of project tutorials I will be creating for beginners looking to get familiar with node-red by creating actual flows. In this simple project we will look at splitting a simple message payload, and then display the data in a text box and on gauges on a dashboard. The payload consists of a simple string containing temperature and humidity readings separated by a ampersand (&). Click to rate this post! [Total: 1 Average: 4]
