Is there something like a general purpose week day timer?

I basically looking for a replacement for a general week day timer, that supports a switching profile for weekdays (at least weekday and weekend / holiday) including a UI / lovelace card.

I was using a lot of these real hardware devices (e.g. https://www.amazon.de//dp/B08CVB1QVW) to control lights / pumps etc.

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. With a mobile-friendly Lovelace card for managing it. What is the scheduler integra…
