Preprocessor #if equality directive not working as expected

Could someone here please help me understand why I am seeing the following error rather than the GATEWAY error? Thank you.

root@GATEWAY-0x0000001E:~/gateway/experiments# cat compile_define.cpp
#define DEVICE_TYPE GATEWAY

#if DEVICE_TYPE == NODE
    #error "NODE"
#elif DEVICE_TYPE == GATEWAY
    #error "GATEWAY"
#endif
root@GATEWAY-0x0000001E:~/gateway/experiments# g++ compile_define.cpp -o compile_define.o
compile_define.cpp:4:6: error: #error "NODE"
    4 |     #error "NODE"
      |      ^~~~~

Fixed with:

#define DEVICE_TYPE_GATEWAY 0
#define DEVICE_TYPE_NODE    1

#define DEVICE_TYPE DEVICE_TYPE_GATEWAY

#if DEVICE_TYPE == DEVICE_TYPE_NODE
    #error "NODE"
#elif DEVICE_TYPE == DEVICE_TYPE_GATEWAY
    #error "GATEWAY"
#endif

Thanks to 273k for the answer.
