Answer
Hello,
There is no issue with setting a device before Shabbat, a holiday, or an intermediate day to perform work on Shabbat or a holiday.
The concept of 'setting work for the intermediate days' applies to a person who has work to do, which is permissible to do during the intermediate days. However, if he can do the work on other days, he is obligated to do so and not leave the work specifically for the intermediate days.
