Hihi,
I use node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler [node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-time-scheduler/in/590bc13ff3a5f005c7d2189bbb563976) in many flows and while migration from DB1 to DB2.0 I found no port for it or any alternative. - Does anybody know if there is one ? - Thx!

I had not found anything and moved over using [ICAL node](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ical-events)
Now I can schedule all my events (and more) in my outlook calendar
I'm using it to
- switch ON/OFF lights or switches
- send messages via TTS to speakers in the house
- executes specific tasks/actions (e.g. start vacuum cleaner, run pool pump, etc)
You can use all calendar functions
- repeat as often you want
- schedule for a period of time
- define exact start - stop times
- see your calendar remotely and can change, add or delete individual or series events

🤣 I love the image of the vacuum cleaner starting itself up as a reminder to the kids to vacuum their rooms. Perhaps coupled to a dust sensor that won't let it turn off until the room is clean enough!

@xx_Nexus_xx Thanx for your creative idea. As I get it, its not possible to keep then all and simple within node red gui. - That´s more what I want 😉

hmm... my wife was more upset when I sent her a message via Node-Red to bring me another cold beer to the pool ☹
