The BigTimer node seems like it'd do the trick I'm trying to do, so that's why I'm asking under the context of it. I'm trying to get it send a message just once a month, every month. I've been playing with some of the settings, and also dove into the (very thorough) documentation, but much of it is well above my head, and experimenting just isn't getting me there. I'm hoping someone is familiar enough with the node where they know the obvious solution that I'm just missing. Anyways, thanks for the great help as usual.

Suggestion, use the [crontab plus node](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-cron-plus) that makes scheduling anything easier in my opinion.
