Cloud properties that have been added to the device template can be referenced as a value. The evaluation between a telemetry and a cloud property only works as long as they are of a similar type. For example, if Temperature is of data type double, then cloud properties of type double will be shown as options.

You can reference a cloud property from the device template in the **Value** field for a condition. The cloud property and telemetry value must have similar types. For example, if **Temperature** is a double, then only cloud properties of type double show as options in the **Value** drop-down.
