Agree. So a task scheduler shall be a system function. I don’t know yet how the Cronjob app is implemented, [[APP][Pro] CronJob - Trigger Flows with Cron Expressions](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-cronjob-trigger-flows-with-cron-expressions/103894)

Edit: Other solutions can be found by searching the App Store for “job” or “task” or “schedule”.
