HA Scheduler that can comm with MQTT

But now the ASK:
Looking for a scheduler, something that can be set to toggle a HA:Mqtt switch, single occurrence, repeats etc.
Suggestions.

HA has lots of functionality, but some things (such as automations), are not as simple to use as I would like. So, I decided to create my own scheduler integration.

Also if you are not completely set on using a pi the ESPHome project has this:

how can i say schedule 4 items after each other, as in a queue, ie run x for 10min, then run the next queued entity for y min, followed by…

Not sure which schedule option you are asking about. If it is the custom one, ask in the thread I linked to. I don’t actually use it. I use input_datetimes and automations.
