I’ve looked and scoured, but is there ANY way to make ignition write a value at a certain time? All I’ve seen is “once per day”, which usually means whatever time I activate the transaction group. I know I can do it through scripting, I just wasn’t sure if there was an easier way? Thanks! ---

One easy way that uses a very small bit of scripting is to use a tag change script on the system gateway time to write to a boolean memory tag that is used for the transaction trigger. ---
