Patio Mister repeat

Looking for help...I have a zigbee water valve controller that identifies as a switch in HE that turns the water supply on to patio misters for people. I don't need any fancy triggers; I just want to use Google Home to turn the automation on and off whenever I tell it to...when I turn it on I want the valve to open for 1 minute and shut off for 5 minutes and repeat until I turn the automation off manually. I can make the on-off control work at the required times but I can't make it repeat indefinitely. Can someone help?

Here's a simple Rule Machine repeat loop that may be a place to start

IF (control is on) THEN
    Repeat every 0:06:00 (stoppable)
        On: Mister
        Wait for event: --> elapsed time: 0:01:00
        Off: Mister
    END-REP
ELSE
    Stop Repeating Actions
    Off: Mister
END-IF

RM is nice as there are many ways to do the same thing. I would simplify @pseudonym’s recommendation with:

Trigger: Control button turns on

Actions:
While control is on repeate every 0:06:00
On: Mister
Wait for event: —> elapsed time: 0:01:00
Off: Mister
END-REP
