Your controller performs the turning on and off of the valves. As for if your outlet is controlled by a switch, normally these are external outlets that are plugged in the outlet. You say it won’t run at 8pm, plug in a drill or hair blower in place of the sprinkler controller to see if they work at 8pm or 9pm, if they do work, it’s not a power problem.
I think it’s your controller and it could be a good time to replace it with an Orbit B-Hyve unit that you can control from your iphone. I have used these for a few years now and have helped many friends replace their sprinkler controllers to the b-hyve. It takes 5 mins to put in and 15 mins to program using your phone
