Hi Guys,  
I'm quote new to Node Red and i'm looking forward to using node red in my home automation project. I'm currently using this node ( [https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler)) to set my scheduler on the UI interface. Any ideal how to make it repeat itself each and everyday instead of having to set it a head of time. 🙂

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi, I dont know that node but you can achieve this with the [cron-plus](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-cron-plus) node as it is fully dynamic.

there is a dashboard example in the built in examples (use CTRL+I --\> examples). (and [here](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/79a66966a6cc655a827872a4af794b94) too)

If I understood the question correctly and you want to set a timer that runs every single day, then just create a timer and tick every single day. Here is an example:

![time-scheduler](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/3/b/3bf2098420ac81e8385c157c9265a8766f83ed79.jpeg)

The first timer runs every single day from 08:00 to 12:00. The second timer only runs Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Both will run every week, the whole year.

@Steve-Mcl Hi Steve, thanks for your suggestion. This works as well but is a bit too complicated for the users. 🙂
