Timed Irrigation systems for containers

This has probably been posted before but I have about 7 containers (20") that I grow at my townhouse in the summer and needless to say in the hot summers I do not travel very far about 1+ day and then I need to get back and water them. they are on both sides of my garage and I have a foucet in the garage that I could rig up on a timer but I have not been out to the hardware stores to look at automatic timers does anyone have suggestions?

This would only be a partial solution to the problem as I have an additional 3 containers on my upper level deck that gets very warm in the summers and do not have a way to get them on a timer system but they are earlier determinant varities so if I could get toms off of those first then I could use the timer system for later in the summer.

Thoughts?
