System>Scheduler
Apply a scheduler to the script to run it with a required interval. Please note! If you have set up a scheduler to run the script, for example, every 2 minutes. It will mean that every received payload (broadcasted by the tag) during the 2-minute interval will be "structured" into the MQTT message. You will, most likely, not need to know the temperature of the tag every 2-5 seconds, so you can either change the MQTT message that is structured to only post the latest temperature reading or just change the IoT>Bluetooth>Scanners setting Filter duplicates to "keep-newest" (that way, the Bluetooth scanner will overwrite every new report from each individual tag's MAC address) and the script will only post 1 payload that was "scanned" at the moment when the script ran.

You will be able to verify the results under the Latest telemetry section under the device you have created for ThingsBoard (in our example, we called the "device" KNOT):
