Description

Context
If you are looking at intervals greater than one day - consider using a scheduler node that can cope with power outages and restarts.
Problem or Improvement

In this section, it is said: ...consider using a scheduler node....

This is mostly unclear for the newcomer who reads the guide, as:

  1. There is no scheduler core node type.
  2. There is no reference or link to no-core nodes which fulfill such task, so the user can further research that option if needed.
Suggestion

Update the node description to tackle on this unclear reference.

Research direction

Open docs/user-guide/nodes.md and locate the Inject node section. Review the current scheduler wording and add clarification plus a relevant link to no-core nodes that handle scheduling across power outages and restarts; the guide should no longer imply that a core scheduler node exists.
