Yes not too hard, I would use a state machine.

Run until error:

    Check schedule vs current system time

        if scheduled time >= current time do event (ie, turn on/off device)

 

   depending on the accuracy and jitter allowe you can implement this different ways.

If you're developing an application to run in Windows, I've made use of the Scheduled Tasks feature in Windows to launch LabVIEW applications at a certain date/time...

 

The following walk-through from LifeHacker describes setting up a scheduled task for running Defrag, but similar steps can be followed to run any executable using the task scheduler:
