The issue is that, though your value resembles an object, it is still being treated as a string. I wrestled with this for a while but I cannot figure out a way using our Handlebars rendering engine to cast that value to an object, which would allow you to then look up the properties within it. I’m going to file a feature request for a new Handlebars helper that would allow for this use case (casting a stringified object to an actual object). As a side note, would moving any of these device tags to [attribute tags](https://docs.losant.com/devices/attributes/#including-optional-fields) solve your use case? Those values are also available on the device context object just like device tags are. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.losant.com/t/array-within-device-tag/4634)._
