Hello Everyone,  
I want to ask. Currently, I have some problems with my project.  
I have several screens that have the requirement to make automation turn off and turn on sound based on a bit from the tag address.  
Can you guide me on how to make some script when tags have value 1 so the sound will be active until the value changes to 0 to turn off the sound?

You can play a sound with this (if the sound is on)

Well then you can just bind the `play` property to your tag. The only scripting you might need is in a a transform to convert whatever value your tag hold into a boolean, though you should be able to do this with an [expression](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/expression-functions/logic/getBit)
