Question. I can’t figure out how to write the value into the Ignition tag. Reads work fine. As soon as I write it the value, whatever number I have stored in my tag goes to zero. Any ideas.

Looks like there are still some undeployed nodes in the screenshot (though perhaps that was just you moving them into place for a screenshot). I’d hang a debug node off of your `move msg.payload.object.newValue` node (and turn the other one off for the moment).

Ultimately you should just need `tagPath` and `tagValue` in your `msg.payload`, e.g.:

This is what I have but the value always goes to 0 in Ignition (instead of 35).

I got it working. In the move statement, I didn’t have .tagValue. Thanks.
