Hunter Hydrawise 12-Zone WiFi Irrigation Controller with HC-1200i Technology

Sal: Go with rainmachine. This was uterly useless. Bad integration with smart hubs and they require extra money to pick a water station close to you. Also, no way to know which sprinkler is on and when the scheduled watering schedule is coming or being cancelled. There is just no data which is key for anything that is labelled "smart". Hunter basically bought out a smart sprinkler company and stiffled their growth.

AD7AD7: Easy install & to program

Canada on Jul 03, 2021

Amazon Customer: I will attempt to give this product as complete a review as I can. This is the first truly web-based watering solution I have used. It attempts to merge the best of the traditional irrigation timer with the best of the web-based timer. It does a good job bringing traditional and web based timers together. It is not perfect. It still needs some improvement, but it is evolving quickly thanks to a super responsive support group. I've contacted them four times via email. The first time was to ask about a feature I needed that wasn't available. Their response was within hours and told me how to work around what I wanted to do, and that they were releasing a feature that achieved what I wanted in the next 10 days. My second contact was right after the new release to ask why it wasn't working from my browser, turns out the cache needed to be cleared. No problem. Again, quick response. The third and fourth interactions were about 'bugs' in the software. Fields that were re-setting to default when an option page was opened. Again, their response was within hours and the response was that it was 'fixed'. Bug fixes within hours of reporting them, that's...

Zek: Works as described. Installed with a couple of Toro in ground moisture sensors (you are limited to two sensors, but you can associate sprinkler zones with a sensor so that multiple zones can be controlled by a single sensor). Online system works well. Have not yet figured out the integration with my Vera 3 automation controller. I paid for the upgraded access to Weather Undergound since I know they charge manufacturers for use of the system (no problem supporting both the manufacturer and WU since both services are valuable to me).

Physical installation took about 10 minutes. Initial configuration took about 20 minutes. Then a few more 10 minute adjustments as I learned more about how the system works. Figure on spending a little time over the first few weeks to learn how the system works and to adjust it to get it dialed in.

My only ding on the system is that it only has the ability to add two sensors. Would love to have the ability to add a moisture sensor for each zone as well as a water flow meter for even better control over the system. If I could deduct a half star for that I would, but the system is good enough that I don't feel right...
