I have a fairly simple question. Via EMS, I wrote a program to determine the thermostat setpoint based on the occupancy rate. Now, the thermostat setpoint updates every timestep (6 times per hour in my case). I want it only to update once an hour. How can I make it do this?

Thank you

Store your computed value or set another EMS:Sensor on thermostat value.

On each iteration, check one of the built-in variables such as IF TimeStepNum == 1 or IF Minute == 60, if so, calculate and set your new value, otherwise use the stored value.
