Automagic Forum

as a Tasker user,
Tasker got a nice way to control about Periodic Time control,
please take a look at the screentshot,

this way of setting make it do control the event to happened exactly at
00:00, 01:00, 02:00 and so on,

currently Automagic have no way to control this,

be able to control this make me can group event to happen at a predictable way,

one of this usage of my own is to do an old style watch hourly beep.

Yes, I agree that a flag to anchor/restart the timer at midnight would be handy. I add it to the todo-list.
You could use Limit time range for now which works starting for the next day. Unfortunately you have to enable the trigger at the right time to also execute the flow at the full hour for the current day.

I ran into this limitation a while ago and created a script to give me the functionality I was looking for. Rather than the periodic timer, this flow depends on a global variable and a script adjusts that variable to the next hour, on the hour. A condition checks that the flow has run on the hour, that way it can be run at anytime to reset the global variable. I've also included an example of a quarter hourly flow.
