Updating Family instance placement by Level

Hi,
I design IT Rooms, and have developed all IT devices to use Levels based on the exact placement with a rack/cabinet - works great manually via the GUI. My scripting knowledge exists, but is however limited.

BUT my question is, that when my technicians move devices or install the devices in a slightly different location within the cabinet, I want to update the installation location based on the values i get from an excel from them via Dynamo to keep documentation accurate.

I know the SCHEDULE_LEVEL_PARAM parameter is read only in the API, so I dont know if i need to rebuild all my familes and use the “elevevation from Level” parameter instead. I hope not !!

My current throught is that I compare the orginal schedule, with the Excel values, and then update the Model accordingly.

Is there anyother method/strategy i can use - perhaps my way of thinking is totally wrong in the this situation.

Thanks to everyone.
