Hi,
node v0.10.29 and npm v1.4.21 are quite old!
Which node-red version are you using?

[mshaz]

Works like a charm now. Thank you for the solutions. That's my country's temp. Its bit hot here. How do i display the humidity?

Thank you.

Sorry for the late reply. I was trying to figure out how to install

[cflurin]

temperature = msg.payload
humidity = msg.humidity

[mshaz]

Using function node after DHT11 node?

I got no errors and everything is well configured, but I can't see the dht node in node-red.
