Set the timer to fire every 1 second (assuming 1 second intervals is sufficient for your purposes). Then in the timer event check whether the current datetime() value is the correct number of seconds / minutes / hours since the datetime value stored in the custom datetime property. If so then execute your code and update the datetime property to reflect the last datetime that the code was executed.

Sounds good.

Thanks
