and output an json-string

```

Us it in a flow like this

Hi,  
Thanks for creating app for the OW Server from Embedded - been waiting for years for Homey to be able to read this.

However - I am having trouble to read from my OW Server. I have the WIFI version - not sure if this messes up the XML. I am unable to get the GET request to update from the OW Server. XML output below.

Hi EvenT

I made the app for my OW Server v2 Enet  
On the first page it looks like this

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/1/016451f47faf5c0be294d3495758c3bfe420f4e5.png)

Its the details XML file’s output the app is able to “convert” to json.

Can you post some more info? The text youposted is just a string, there is no xml-tags.

Hi Rikard,  
Thanks for getting back - I definitely do not have that screen as I have version 1 of the observer.

I most likely have version 1 of the OW server, but I managed to get better screenshot through Chrome of the XML. Is this helpful?

The XML looks correct

Have you followed the instructions first in this thread?

In Norwegian - but you get the general point of it. I don’t know exactly where this is stopping, but when testing the flow it does not manage to get values from XML it seems.

Something is probably wrong on the last logic - not to familiar with JSON, but when checking the JSON\_output, it does not seem to work correctly.

Insted of a variable, can you enter it like this?  
Temperature[‘870000042FD3A828’]

If your ROMid starts with i number it could fail on that

On your OW server you have thermometers, they all have a uniquely id thats called ROMid, you find it in your details.xml  
you enter it in the last flowcard(analyser) like Temperature[‘ROMid’] but change ROMid to whatever romid you want to know the temperature for

Thanks,  
Changed this, but not working still. I think something is wrong in the first block, as it is not exporting any tags. Do you have any logic inside the first block that is not visible?

there are 2 different flowcards to choose from

You should have the second with the tag icon beside the word logic

That solved it 🙂 Now I got it working. Now I can connect the main loops with several sensors, and get them working properly in Homey…

Thank you - great app and support!

Thanks - this is exactly how I was planning it 🙂

I also have 1 light sensor that is 1 wire - will check tomorrow how this works with your app.
