I think @elf used every hour at :00 for his cuckoo clock – then maybe you can use restriction for the times you don’t want to it fire.

Try something like this. It is a stripped down version of what you showed but it works here on testing.

OK thanks,I could have sworn that at one time there was something in the tool that allowed you to select hours.

#5

Not sure that’ll work… I believe contains() will also match the hours of 21, 22, 23, 14, 15, etc…

Try using a time restriction and then a timer inside: (like @eibyer suggested)
webcore

To get what the OP is after, you have to select Add Timer rather than Add condition.

Then you have to select (in the green box) the resolution LOWER than you want to make choices for… in other words, if he wants to select hours, then he has to say every X minutes in his timer:

From what I can tell. Contains will work

#8

doesn’t the “1” also match “10” & “11”? In the following screenshot, I have “testTime1” set to a value of “10”.
The current time24 hour I’m in (EST) would be 1pm.

This worked in my test…

#10

There are so many ways to approach something here in webCoRE.

I use this method often:

IF something happens
Then
    IF $hour24 is between 1 and 9
    Then Do stuff
    END IF
END IF
#11

This may be more appropriate based on my tests. This matches “1” but not “13”:

matches('1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9', {$hour24})

Yep, it just depends on whose cat we want to skin :smiley:
