Michael: The product was easy to install. App works well.

B.H.: Easy to install, setup and run. You need to download the Hydrawise App for the easy setup. Either download on your phone, laptop or both. I replaced my old Hunter Pro-C with this one. It is great to have the ability to run it from my phone. Especially when checking zones for operating issues.

Bruce: The product was what i expected. It was easy to install on my current irrigation system and works well. It is great to be able to set your programs by your phone from anywhere, know that your system came on and of interest - the system monitor weather reports and weather conditions and will adjust your watering based on the past rainfall and weather forecast. This takes out a lot of manual adjustments required with my previous system. I am loving it.

mk915: I installed this product about one month ago. The installation was easy. If replacing a controller, the key is to mark the wires of all the zones prior to disconnecting them AND not remove these markings until the new controller has been fully installed and tested (I used tape). It works as advertised, can be managed via the Hydrawise app (by far the most preferable way), over the web or directly via the controller's touch screen. It has all the functions I have been using on my prior controller (a 10+ year-old PRO-C) and more but now can manage remotely. I love the date-driven zone watering suspension function (e.g., if today is September 29th, suspend watering for any or all zones through October 2nd). I also like the capability to review watering history by date, by zone. It's late in the season so I have not tried using the automated, weather-driven watering schedule modifications but will do so next season. Thus far I contacted technical support twice with questions via email and both times they responded within 24 hours.

Carmeleon Pouncey: After careful research I decided on the 12 zone Pro-HC due to its WiFi functionality and previous reviews . I convert over from a non WiFi Toro GreensKeeper 212 which worked great however it was not WiFi . Took be about an hour to install . Wiring was easy and little need to read the manual if you have installed one before . The most difficult part was aligning the wires to come in the back of the panel and drilling out the extra knockout in the panel . Needed a 1in drill bit for that . The other installation item was to ensure you put you serial number in the App Wizard to ensure you can control it from your smart device . This should be obvious but I overlooked that and it worked fine but I spend about 15 min figuring this out . Once connected it was easy to program from the App and setting up the program was easy . Also needed to ensure you set up the location for you area you live in to ensure you get the appropriate weather data . The reliance on the weather data is great so that you don’t need to have it turn on in colder and wet times of the day . I tested remote on and off functions when I was away from home and it also worked great .Looking to see if the water bill...

Domenic Apa: Works perfectly glad I upgraded my old unit to this, installing took 10 min, writing was the same

NKC, MONKC, MO: I purchased this controller to replace a Hunter Pro-C irrigation controller which while working well, did not offer any wireless capabilities or intelligence to adjust with the weather beyond a rain sensor. I will update this review as I gain more experience in the intelligent adjustments.

Decision: I narrowed the options down to this model and the Rachio. The Rachio had many more consumer reviews and was highly rated, but apparent downsides included a lower quality approach to wiring connections and adequate space inside controller to make the connections, limited ability to control the irrigation system completely from the touch screen as needed as well as my familiarity with the Hunter brand. Also many contractors tend to recommend the Hunter Pro-HC over the Rachio.

Installation: Replacement of my existing controller was easy to perform. After taking a picture of all existing connections and labeling the wires, I removed the old controller and mounted the new controller to the wall in the same location. My wiring came into the controller through the wall so I drilled a hole in the back of the controller in the marked knock out space. Connecting all wiring leads...
