We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

There is no *get of element temperature mentioned in the *get documentation.  It appears you would need to be in post1, create an element table for temp (etab,temp,temp) and then *get the etable item.  If you can't be in post1 when you issue these commands you could *get one of the nodes of the element and *get its temperature. 

Also, I'm pretty sure the *if command needs to end with then, *if, temp_val, le, 20,then.  You could replace the two *if commands with one:  *if, temp_val, le, 20,and,temp_val,gt,0,then
