I have figured out how to read a logic variable in a homey script using a for loop.  
But I think it should also be possible and more efficient by using a filter.  
However I have tried some variants without succes. See the example  
// Get all logic  
let logvars = await Homey.logic.getVariables()  
[//console.log](https://console.log)(logvars);  
for (const logvar of Object.values(logvars)) {  
if (logvar.name===“radiatorhoog”) {  
log('\n found logic var '+ logvar.name + "temp is " +logvar.value);}  
}  
//now trying a filter  
const advancedvar = await Homey.logic.getVariables(({filter: { name: “radiatorhoog” }}));  
console.log(‘adva’ + advancedvar);

And the output is  
found logic var radiatorhoogtemp is 20  
adva[object Object]

So the filter is not working. Any ideas ?

Try logging it properly:

```auto
console.log('adva', advancedvar)

```
