Hi everyone, I'm trying to add a EMS script with loops manually to a IDF (that is, copying and pasting the script), but I get the error below when I try to simulate. I just realised that I could use 'for loops' in eppy to add an EMS object for each zone, and therefore omit the zone loop, but i'd like to know if anyone knows an easier way to make this script with loops work, considering that the script should be added manually to de IDF.

Thanks in advance.

In the following link you will see 2 IDFs: one with loops within the scrip (which works), and one without loops within the script (which doesn't work):
