<![CDATA[Triggering a counter data point to enable and restart]]>Heya,

This seems like a simple thing to do but I haven't found anything that is. Maybe it has been a long week. heh

What I have is a virtual point set to increment by 1 in a virtual data source that will poll every 1 second. I have a meta point that will reset that virtual point to 0 and enable it based on conditions of another point.

Is this the way to create a counter that is triggered? It seems sorta complex.

Thanks
Ian

Use the Set Point value type handler.

enable it

I think you might be better off using a scripting data source running on a cron pattern. You can have all your logic in one script to increment and reset as needed by bringing in extra context points.
