Hi,

Create a thing, choose its template "Timer", insert "Run as User" the user you want to run; Update rate: 30000; check Enabled checkbox.

Go to Subscriptions of Timer, create new, choose event = Timer.

I have used the following code: 

Things["mything"].prop1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
logger.warn("Value: " +Things["test_timer"].prop1);

Then Save.

my thing = a thing different than the timer;

prop1 = number property;

Every 30 sec, the prop1 is updated and the value is written in Script.log

Hope it helps,
