I tried to turn on an iHome outlet at a specific time and have it turn of after 6 hours and found it was limited to 4 hours.
Tried to cascade a first automation to "turn on" with a never turn off; and then a second automation to "turn off" at a specific time. The device hangs and goes offline every time.
Why doesn't Homekit offer a simple automation with a turn on time and a turn off time?

Hello JDDFW,
The articles below can help you set up and use automations on your iPhone:
Create scenes and automations with the Home app - Apple Support
Use automations in Home on iPhone - Apple Support
We're not seeing any mention of automation time limits, however.
Have you tried a different accessory, to verify if the limit is with that particular accessory?
Another thought, do you have any other automation which might interfere with the limit being over 4 hours?
If you're still having this issue, we'd advise to contact iHome support. We found this page which may get you started: iHome Support
Best Regards.
