Currently only way to do that is to manually enable the flow at the given time.

You could use global variable trigger to extract the full hours from time variable and to trigger accordingly. There are quite a few topics regarding time variables, so you should get all the advice you need, if search for those. I'm not skilled enough to give you straight answer, but I know It's possible that way.

@hubert: as I said, I'm not skilled enough to make that myself and I don't happen to have an example right now.

@pat2net: I take credit only for modifying the original script and flow layout from MagiciAndroid.

I was also thinking about pat's solution but I thought it's a bit too cumbersome to modify when needed. That would work, however.
