attempt to compare number with nil - sx3 - 28.11.2022

Keep getting this error and I'm not sure how to get rid of it.

3/0/41 is DPT1
3/0/21 is a percentage value. I have tried using DPT9 and now using DPT5

3/0/21 is mostly at 0%, I've tried to manually set the GA to 0 to be sure it's not nil.

Code:
Resident script:9: attempt to compare number with nil

stack traceback:

Code:
local auxswitch = grp.getvalue('3/0/41')

local auxstatus = grp.getvalue('3/0/21')

if auxswitch == true then

  grp.write('3/0/57', 0)

elseif (auxswitch == false and auxstatus == 0) then

  grp.write('3/0/57', 1)

elseif (auxswitch == false and auxstatus >= 1 and auxstatus <= 33) then

  grp.write('3/0/57', 2)

elseif (auxswitch == false and auxstatus >= 34 and auxstatus <= 66) then

  grp.write('3/0/57', 3)

elseif (auxswitch == false and auxstatus >= 67 and auxstatus <= 100) then

  grp.write('3/0/57', 4)

end

Add log(auxstatus) after grp.getvalue and check what you get in Logs tab. You should use event script instead of resident. Add a common tag to 3/0/41 and 3/0/21 then map an event script to this tag.

Log gives me

Code:
* number: 0

Thanks for the tip regarding event.
Haven't realized that a tag can trigger event-script, always thought it had to be specific GA. Will migrate the script to event later.
