HunterPRO-HC PHC-600 Residential Outdoor Professional Grade Wi-Fi Controller with Hydrawise Web-Based Software - 6 Station

We live in a Californian “Mediterranean” climate, so there is a lot of variability in our watering needs throughout the year.With their Internet-connected smart watering mode, it just does the right thing. No more soggy grass, no more dry dead plants, and I’m using 30-50% less water on an annual basis.

Works as advertised, wi-fi connection makes this a terrific device worth buying..

I have this at a beach house and I can control the system from my primary home (160 miles away). It gives me peace of mind to know that I can control it AND there are so many other conditions that the system monitors (weather, wind, Temp, rainfall) to optimize irrigation. Also I gave access to my irrigation guy so he can access if something fails. I would like to get one for my primary house when they go on sale.

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. Be sure to take pictures with your smart phone of your current water controllerwiring before disconnecting as you will need this information when installing the zones onto the new Hunter controller. I can’t say enough positive things about this controller and now that I’m saving on my water bill it’s a win win!

I like that I can control it on my phone for we are part timers at this resident. I thought it came with a rain gage so I wouldn't have turn it off with my phone that it would know to do so due to rain fall.

Don’t know whose people live without this thing! It’s very well designed and the app is fantastic as well!

Great options but not user friendly; poor instructions. Hard to use if you don't operate these systems regularly. I don't think this is a good option for a homeowner but seems it may be good for commercial owner with several systems.

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.
