Determine properties like holiday, business day, weekend, etc at the moment when message is received.

In combination with great node BigTimer by Peter Scargill I needed something to determine whether if its business day at that moment, if its holiday, which weekday it is, regarding energy consumption if its lower or higher tariff etc. So I wrote a function and decided to share it so anyone could use it for its own purposes. The code naturally includes our national (Slovenian) holiday sets. Ofcourse modificaitions are needed for use in any other country which has its own set of holidays and energy consumption tariff rules.

Im using it in combination with BigTimer to turn on the light in the morning when its time to get up but only if its business day :) I also pass messages to it from energy meter and then calculate energy consumption in kWh for lower and higher tariff. And water heater is turned off in higher tariff at 20:00 so water is not heated during showering time but gets heated when lower tariff kicks in at 22:00. I hope anyone else could benefit using this stuff. Im also open for suggestions and improvements!
