I agree with Dan. I'd wait for the next release in a couple of weeks.
Custom commands will be reimplemented in a more elegant way.

Regardless, you can do that by exporting a set function in your script
and calling that from a preset using the "Command value" configuration.
The set function of your script will be called if the value given
doesn't match the existing value of the custom command. That is, the
value given in "Command value" configuration not matching the return
value of "get" function in your script when it was last called. Make
sure you have custom command name followed by the function name (e.g.
"mycustomcommand set [any optional args]") in your preset.

Use "Command age" configuraiton and specify a number of seconds that's
smaller than your inform interval (e.g. 1).
