How can I schedule droplet on/off?

I need to power on my droplets at a certain point in time (e.g everyday 07:00) to perform some tasks.
And then I'd like the opposite: power off a droplet regardless of what it's doing at a certain point in time (everyday 23:00).

Any way to achieve this?

Best,
S.

Why do you want to shut it down?

    Mainly, to save some quids.

    (I'm doing a pro-bono for a charity org, they don't have too much money to spend, they rather have the servers turned down rather then have them idling).

    Droplets that are powered off are still charged at the usual hourly rate.

You are absolutely right, I apologize, I miss-understood the FAQ, I thought powered off droplet are charged 20%.
In that case, no point in power off, either scale down or cheap out.

Thank you for clarifying this.
