Compatibility of API-strings

Probably irrespective of versions and platforms.
Stumbled on this aspect while programming the transfer of a virtual device from one Domoticz to another Domoticz-instance.
If you make a JSON-call to a device which has Temperature and Humidity like
you get a response with HumidityStatus as text, e.g. "normal" or "wet"
If you want to update a comparable device, the string is
with HUM_STAT 0~3 [=normal/comfortable/dry/wet] = HumidityStatus as number
Probably for Domoticz applicable in every API/JSON-call where HumidityStatus is present.
Not difficult to solve the incompatibility by some scriptlines for translation, but would be 'nice-to-have' if HumidityStatus would be same layout in all applications = numbers.
Easy for handover.
