Something like this?

```auto
const argument = args[0];
const result = argument.replace("tele/Tasmota/SENSOR", "");
const data = JSON.parse(result);
const value = data.eBZ.Power;
return value;

```

You can use it in HomeyScript, with the “Run code with argument“ card, and using the Result tag in your Flow

This should work, but it"s unknown how the data is received by Homey  
I added 2 examples to extract values from the JSON data:

It’s case sensitive as you can see.

I use a Hichi IR reader (Tasmota) and, thanks to @RonnyW, I got it up and running with these flows:
