There is the Generic GPIO pin, but that only supports on/off at the day-night boundary. I will have to consider how to define a schedule for that. |

In retrospect, I would prefer a simple commanded GPIO pin. Like "Switch on now | Switch off now" Probably easier to implement, and means that, like now, when I need to trudge out on a rainy night to power cycle an Arduino, I could do it from the warmth of my office (yes, I've got a more sophisticated, error-tolerant system running on the desktop version, but it's not uploaded yet -- which needs significant manual intervention -- and I can't yet eliminate that some power-cycling might still be required) |

In the Device tab we have Dew Heater, Fan and Focuser (which implements stepper motor control, as far as I can see).
I have in mind a GPIO pin (which can control a relay) which can be either directly commanded or can be switched according to a schedule. For example, switched off every day at noon, then back on at noon + 1 minute, to enable regular power cycling, for example.
