getglobalvalue does not return a number

Getting a global var does not return a number even when it is set as a numeric.
My testvalue is no string because I want to calculate it. As a workaround I compare the tostring values or force numeric evaluation with + 1.

SCRIPT:
-- test global var to local number comparison
local testvalue = 35
fibaro:setGlobal('globalminutes',testvalue)
fibaro:debug(fibaro:getGlobalValue('globalminutes'))
fibaro:debug(testvalue)

if fibaro:getGlobalValue('globalminutes') == testvalue
then fibaro:debug("are equal")
else fibaro:debug("are NOT equal")
end
if fibaro:getGlobalValue('globalminutes') + 1 == testvalue + 1
then fibaro:debug("are equal")
else fibaro:debug("are NOT equal")
end
if tostring(fibaro:getGlobalValue('globalminutes')) == tostring(testvalue)
then fibaro:debug("are equal")
else fibaro:debug("are NOT equal")
end

 

OUTPUT:
[DEBUG] 14:15:25: 35
[DEBUG] 14:15:25: 35
[DEBUG] 14:15:25: are NOT equal
[DEBUG] 14:15:25: are equal
[DEBUG] 14:15:25: are equal

Try

if tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue('globalminutes')) == testvalue
