Misting System Timer Recommended - Orchid Board

Hello, I am hoping to get a recommendation for a hose timer. I live in Central Florida and moved the vandas to the greenhouse a little early this year.(long explanation why).
Because the greenhouse is getting a little too hot from 10 AM to 4 PM I have set up a simple misting system to run multiple times a day to cool the greenhouse. I use a hose timer to turn the misting on and off. The issue is I cannot find a hose timer with a stop time setting. I have to manually turn the timer on in the morning and turn the timer off in the early evening. Otherwise it will continue to mist throughout the night. I will be going out of town for a few days and I’m going to be unable to manually control the timer. Maybe I’m going about this the wrong way, but I feel like there has to be a timer on the market with a stop time. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
