I wish to set the property of a thing based on time

for example

if time is between 2pm and  3pm the property value should be 50

if it is between 5pm and 6pm  property value should be 75

How can I achieve it?

Thank you for any reply

    You need to create a Thing based on a Timer or Scheduler Template and subscribe to Timer/Scheduler trigger event, there you can set the other Thing's property to 50 and/or 75 based on timestamp.

    On your use case, you can set a Scheduler thing which triggers every exact hour, and depending on the timestamp setting the corresponding property on the other thing.

      One possible solution would be to create a Scheduler Thing, and you could set time period as every 1 hour like

      Then you will create a Subscription and use the Scheculder to be the trigger event, and then you could author your code like:

      var date=new Date();
      var hour=date.getHours();
      // then you could set your property values here...

      Hope this helps,
