Question about Inject Node, which is to be configured so that an action is triggered daily at a certain time. Setting up the Inject Node is clear.  
It's unclear how to ensure that the Inject node is activated when Node-red is restarted (restart of the computer /raspberry) in order to trigger the subsequent flow at the specified time.

If Node-RED is running at that time then the inject node will inject a message at that time.  
It should be configured with `repeat` `at a specific time` and uncheck the checkbox for `inject once after X seconds` unless you want it to run at startup time as well.

Don't forget about the cron-plus node either, it has a slug of options
