1. An Internet of Things (IoT) system comprising:

an IoT hub;

a local IoT subsystem comprising a plurality of subsystem devices, the plurality of subsystem devices comprising:

an edge hub communicatively coupled to the IoT hub and to each of the other subsystem devices;

at least one requestor module configured to perform a task according to a requestor module schedule; and

a scheduler module comprising a persistent time loop and configured to:

receive a scheduler request from the at least one requestor module via the edge hub;

generate a subsystem schedule including the requestor module schedule, based on the scheduler request;

transmit at least a part of the subsystem schedule to a persistence layer outside of the local IoT subsystem, via the IoT hub;

flag a scheduled event occurrence based on elapse of time according to the time loop, in reference to the subsystem schedule; and

transmit a triggered message to the at least one requestor module in response to the flagging of the scheduled event occurrence, the triggered message corresponding to the task.
