So what logic would I employ? something like this on off timer code
//NJarpa
// Arduino timer on/off setpoint.
//If you find this code,visit INSTRUCTABLES and type the title above.
//Arduino UNO + RTC 1307 + 16X2 LCD + 4 buttons
#include <LiquidCrystal.h> //Libraries
#include <RTClib.h>
#include <Wire.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); //Arduino pins to lcd
//LCD 1602
//RS to 2pin, EN to 3pin, D4 to 4pin, D5 to 5pin, D6 to 6pin, D7 to 7pin
//Contrast= 10K potentiometer: 1 to Vcc, 2(center)to VO, 3 to GND
//Backlight= K to GND(with 1K resistor), A to Vcc
//Vss to GND , Vdd to +5v
RTC_DS1307 RTC; // define the Real Time Clock object
//RTC 1307
//SDA to analog 4, SCL to analog 5
//You need 4 buttons like this,to enter the set points, with 10K resistor to ground (for each one)
// To arduino pins(8, 9, 10, 11)

how would I add pwm values to set on, set off and a fading function?
