Hi, I a having a problem I cant find a solution to I was hoping if someone could please help. I’m trying to compare the Equipment Voltage value from a panel element in the image with python code to find which values are equal to 480. The output of I get parameter value node has 480 in it as you can see in my image, but when I try comparing that using a python node it doesn’t give me the right answer. However, if I use a code block in dynamo I get exactly the values I’m looking for can someone explain why and possibly tell me how to do this with a python node instead of a dynamo code block please. Thank You.

Try using an Object.Type node to see if the two values are the same. 480 isn’t the same as 480.000000.

Thanks Jacob that was exactly the issue, after I found out that was the problem I used the round() function in python to get an integer and my problem was solved. Thank You all for your help.
