As an example, this will call the `diary' function every night at
midnight. Is this the functionality you have in mind or do you need
something more sophisticated? I didn't see anything in the code you
posted that seems to do anything on a schedule. (But note that I don't
use `diary' myself).

    (defvar my-diary-update-timer
      (run-at-time "12am" (* 60 60 24) #'diary)
      "Timer to call `diary' ever night at midnight.")
    ;; To cancel:
    ;; (cancel-timer my-diary-update-timer)
