Hello 🙂

Can I export the brightness value of the msg : Object as a number?
What if I could...

Can you explain a bit more what you would like to do? `msg.brightness` is already set to the number `137`. What would you like to do with it?

I've checked. Thank you for your answer. I'm sorry for posting it repeatedly. I joined the community today, but I'm still not good at using it...

Now it's an object. It's printed in Jason format. I want to print an integer through msg.payload, not msg.
thank you.

At the moment you have `msg.brightness` set to the value of `137`
If you want `msg.payload` to have the value of `137` then , as @dceejay said, you can use a Change node to move it from `msg.brightness` to `msg.payload`.
