@GuillaumeOd not sure if I'm getting the point...

You want to send measures like this:

{
  "fireDetectionThreshold": 10
}

and get corresponding attribute at CB this way:

                    "fireDetectionThreshold": {
                        type: "Number",
                        value: 10
                    }

is my interpretation correct?

[GuillaumeOd]

@fgalan Yes, exactly! Regarding the type, I'm not entirely sure if it should be Number or Text, but your interpretation seems spot on.

Could you try running the test locally without my fix to confirm it fails as expected?

@fgalan Yes, exactly! Regarding the type, I'm not entirely sure if it should be Number or Text, but your interpretation seems spot on.

In that case, why don't use at provisioning time

                            {
                                name: 'fireDetectionThreshold',
                                type: 'Number'
                            }

instead of

                            {
                                object_id: 'f_dt',
                                name: 'fireDetectionThreshold',
                                type: 'Number'
                            }
