The actual version of the `switch node` (nodered 3.0.2) accepts, in "Edit switch node' pad, _msg.|flow.|global.|string|number|Jexpression|env.variabile|previus value_ but not _ **credentials** _.

I am in the (rare) situation of using IOT device IDs as values in a selector.  
Throughout my flow the IDs (used as _primary key_) are always in credentials, especially to be able to export and exchange the flow safely. Except in the switch node.

Sincerely  
m.s.
