Tag Group question

General Discussion

Good day! I am curious if there is a way to have a tag group execute at 8am and 8pm based on gateway clock?

Sounds like you would want to make your tags of memory type, then use a scheduled gateway script to run and write to the tags at those specific times.

Gateway Event Scripts - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation (inductiveautomation.com)

Could you also use a driven tag group, set to one shot, with an expression that will match the comparison value at the specific times?

Edit:
I haven’t tested this but i think it will do what you want:

And the expression:

if(dateFormat(now(), "h") = '8', 1, 0)

Thanks ill look into both solutions!

Thank you to dkhayes117 and josborn for the suggestion, I find both work really well. For this instance I used the script function, but also added a tag group that our team here can use for ease of use. thanks again guys
