I have a large group of tags that I do not need polled on a regular basis or at all. I just need to be able to write to them. What is the best way to set that up?

Take a look at the [system.opc.\*](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.opc) functions. You wouldn't necessarily need to create tags if you have the OPC path.

I feel a little stupid for not thinking of that. Thank you very much.
