Get sensor information in a node-red flow

Hi All,
Just to quick start a newbee in node-red: How do I get sensor information (temp values) in a node red flow. Which node red to use. Cannot seem to find the right information…
Thx,
PPee

You’ll want to use the current state node and use the entity_id of the sensor you want to know about.

Another solution would be to read the manual: https://zachowj.github.io/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/guide/ (Thanks @Kermit)
It is probably one of the most comprehensive available for nodes/home assistant.

The documentation is, indeed, excellent. A great example of how it should be done.
