I've been using a SONOFF Zigbee hose timer for one season. It has worked great so far.

US$32 Amazon.com: SONOFF Zigbee Sprinkler Timer, Gateway Required, Smart Controller Voice Control with Alexa and Google Home, Automate Irrigation for Garden, Lawn, Pool, Outdoor Watering, SWV-NH, Black : Patio, Lawn & Garden

I'm using it with this driver: [RELEASE] Tuya Zigbee Valve driver (w/ healthStatus)

I'm using this app to control when I run the spinkler: [Release] Sprinkler Schedule Manager App

The timer hardware has a built-in 'auto-off' that the above driver lets you set. Or you can juse use the app.

I have another one that I've set up for use later this year, but not yet used. E.g., I've paired it, set up the app, but I've not had it outside in use yet. It has 2 independent valves. It seems about equivalent to the SONOFF in build quality.
