That is a great idea I have gone through the Cron Tutorial hereRTC is a red herring. If the Pi (or anything else) is permanently powered the system clock is more appropriate.
The easiest (and probably most reliable) solution would be to use `cron` to start programs at the appropriate time every day.
You could use any Pi, although a Pico would seem more appropriate.

They also talk about a gnome scheduler used in older versions which is a graphical editor for Cron Jobs. That is valuable information.
I am not sure about the Pico I suppose the Pico being an MCU it has to be interfaced with a zero, pi, pc for it to get the time through interface. The zero and pi would be connected to internet always and use cron interface while pico cant. Pls correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
