to go further I would like to use the node switch to send the message in a direction according to the value of sensorInstallId  
is it a good idea ?  
I've read [Switch node - jsonata - magic?](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/switch-node-jsonata-magic/12943)  
but I don't understand if the "Key is" exist or not ?

for the moment I've made this

but the property 1 doesn't match .... it's the otherwise property(6) which send a debug message  
What's wrong in my reflexion ?

Thanks
