Setting specific event time alarms over 24hour clock - Photon

Please take a look at the little library I wrote to perform repeating daily tasks, non-blocking.

If you don't like the overhead of the library (it has a small footprint) you could alternatively lift some of the code from the methods I wrote:

DailyTimerSpark library added

I spend a lot of time on presence simulation projects that do things like turning on/off various things in our home at seemingly random times. The classic example of this use case is an indoor or outdoor light that comes on and off randomly as to fool would be villains into believing someone is home. I developed a library for Arduino some time back and finally ported it to Particle. It uses the Time class in particle and you can set timers for WEEKENDS, WEEKDAYS, single days (e.g. WEDNESDAY) …

I've been using it for several weeks on a particle Photon... seems to work nicely. Untested on Electron, FYI.
