try this to pull out only a list of values from your json

import json
import ast
import pandas as pd
mystr = """
{'tags': [{'name': 'Temperature1',
  'results': [{'attributes': {'Location': ['3rd Floor'],
  'Sensor-Serial-Number': ['PT100']},
  'groups': [{'name': 'type', 'type': 'number'}],
  'values': [[1460958592800, 24.2, 3],
  [1460958602800, 24.1, 1],
  [1460958612800, 23.9, 1],
  [1460958622800, 24.2, 1],
  [1460958632800, 24.5, 1],
  [1460958642800, 24.9, 1],
  [1460958652800, 24.6, 1],
  [1460958662800, 24.7, 1],
  [1460958672800, 24.7, 1]]}],
 'stats': {'rawCount': 9}}]}
"""
val = ast.literal_eval(mystr)
val1 = json.loads(json.dumps(val))
val2 = val1['tags'][0]['results'][0]['values']
print pd.DataFrame(val2, columns=["time", "temperature", "quality"])

the result turns out to be

            time  temperature  quality
0  1460958592800         24.2        3
1  1460958602800         24.1        1
2  1460958612800         23.9        1
3  1460958622800         24.2        1
4  1460958632800         24.5        1
5  1460958642800         24.9        1
6  1460958652800         24.6        1
7  1460958662800         24.7        1
8  1460958672800         24.7        1

which is your table for dataset
