trigger once every minute in virtual device main loop

Is there a way to trigger code every minute in a virtual device's main loop?

Main loop will be trigged every 5 seconds so fair as I know

Is there a way to trigger code every minute in a virtual device's main loop?

Its triggered every 3 seconds and afaik fibaro:sleep(57*1000) will be exactly every minute? But I'm not guru!

I don't want to use a sleep function because there are other things in the main loop which need to be executed.

Lambik, assign current time to local variable with os.time(), then check with an if instruction, whenever difference in current time and is greater than 60s, if so enter if, execute instructions and set local variable with current time.

current time to local variable with os.time()

Is a local variable not reset every time the main loop is executed?

Lambik, sorry, my mistake, of course the variable should not be marked as local, that way its state will be passed to another run of loop. Thank you for noticing that.
