Water valve recommendation

Looking to turn a hose connected mister off/on to keep an aviary cool(er). Any recommendations? Preferably z-wave?
I saw some posts for water shut-off valves.

I use low cost irrigation 24VAC solenoid valve operated by a Shelly (lower cost) or Fibaro relay mounted in an adjacent weatherproof box.

I have the Fortrezz valves on the water mains coming into the house. Pricey, and probably overkill for a simple hose control.

Thanks all. Just thought of something...I could just buy a regular sprinkler valve, connect it to Rachio then write a trigger.
I'll look into the Fabrio.

I installed one of these, too. Works great ... but lead to the discovery that our old, ranch house with years of add-ons actually has two water lines entering the home, which disrupted my Indigo-based plans for shutting down / restarting the water while on vacation.... :oops:
