How to check if a value is in array using the switch node

[dcaccount]

Hello,
I am quite new to Node Red and I need to ask for your help as I cannot solve a simple problem.

I have a flow where the mgs.payload is an array like

["Intrusion","Alarm","Input"]

I would like to introduce a switch depending on the value of the second field of msg.payload.
I have tried to introduce the switch node with property msg.payload[1] and then == string "Alarm" but it won't work.

Can you please help?
Thanks in advance,
Daniele

Example Flow

maybe your array is not an array but a string ?

Are you sure the input is an arrray, not a string?

When I inject that as an array, the switch node recognises msg.payload[1] == "Alarm"

Edit: SNAP!
