This is on the list of "things" to do.  Part of the problem of getting it implemented lies in our current structure and being able to support hourly as well as sub-hourly schedules.  (Also, mis-match of sub-hourly schedules to timesteps in the current simulation (say schedules on the 15 minuts as shown above but the timesteps in the simulation every 10 minutes).

If we can work out a reasonable solution to the above, it won't be difficult (timewise) to implement.  Having the time available is a different story.
