hakkoniv: This was a vast improvement over the entry-level controller for my small system. Took no more than 15 minutes to switch over. A bit more time to set up the wi-fi and program, but it's already saving water with much better control over individual zones. Recommended!

Sam S.: Set up is a bit difficult to get through. There are quite a few options to learn and broad capabilities for the controller. It will take some time to learn the functionality of the controller. Once done and you become comfortable with the operations you’ll wonder why you didn’t go with this controller sooner. You have control over irrigation like never before. It’s worth the learning curve, so spend the money and take the time to learn the device.
Tech support? Good luck. They don’t print a phone number for the US so you will spend some time trying to get a number a mind getting someone on the phone.

RichardRichard: I called a company asking them to install. They wanted to charged me $600 including installation. The guy admitted it wouldn’t be more than 30 minutes. I thought to myself why am I paying you then about $400 for 30 minutes of labor, which is $800 an hour! I went online to see a couple of videos and voilà. Seemed easy enough. It was super easy to install. The app works great ( but I seem to not be able to upload pics to it, which I’m not sure why). I highly recommend this product. I went from old rotary to this new device. Amazing!!! Attached is what I was using. By the way, mine included a plug so I could easily plug into a nearby outlet.

Nor'easter: I live in a community where the HOA has a landscape contracted company and when I had the manual hunter water irrigation system I would find my zones and days of watering were constantly being changed by the landscapers causing my water bill to be extremely higher then expected and then I found the Hunter PRO-HC and now I finally have control over my watering schedules. This smart controller runs off a app that will follow the local weather and make adjustments if there is rain falling or predicted to fall by simply skipping the day. No more relying on the water sensor system which I found many times to be wrong and the best thing is that I can turn on my system anywhere in the world and even make changes to the schedule . This controller comes with a free app called hydrawise and I can run reports and see my water usage and compare them to what my city is billing me. The app is extremely user friendly and at the time of this review there are no monthly fees to use this app. This app also monitors the system and looks for damaged/broken sprinkler heads and will notify me immediately! Installing the new Hunter controller took me less then 45 minutes to mount and install the zones....
