Hunter PRO-HC PHC-1200 Residential Outdoor Professional Grade Wi-Fi Controller with Hydrawise Web-Based Software - 12 Station

Very happy with this sprinkler timer. It was very easy to install and swap out my “dumb” timer for this new internet connected timer. The app is very easy to setup and program, and I like all the data the app provides, as well as a way to manually water from anywhere in the world!

I was looking for a WIFI irrigation controller to replace my outdoor Hunter programmable controller. I wanted a rugged outdoor controller that is easy to use and can stand the outdoor environment. After reviewing many controllers that are available on the market, I have selected the Hunter PRO-HC PHC-1200. Installing the controller was easy, and I find the fact that I have the app on my iPhone, iPad and online reassuring. It was easy to assign my local airport weather station to the app, and it took minutes to name all the zones and attach pictures to each zone. It’s incredibly easy to start each zone manually or just let the programed zones work automatically. I am expecting significant savings since the controller takes into account local weather conditions into effect. You can control how the controller operates considering local rainfall.The preset Predictive Watering adjustments on my controller are:1. Don’t water when today’s forecast temperature is less than 68 F2. Water 30% less when today’s forecast temperature is less than 77 F3. Water 30% more when today’s forecast temperature is above 86 F4. Don’t water when the chance of rain higher than 80 %5. Don’t water when today’s forecast wind speed is higher than 19 mph6. Use forecast temperature to predict smart wateringIncredible control power at your fingertips …

Very straightforward installation and hookup to the WIFI. Setup of zones, timing of zones, as well as inclusion of zone images took minutes! Love it so far!

Great Controller! I now have 3 of these. One home and 2 rental properties. I was able to install them within 30 minutes or so. I recommend to not use the Advanced mode - the Standard Mode allows much more control over the system in my opinion. The system uses the weather forecast to suspend the system for rain or freezing temps so no need for sensors. Very customizable. The app is easy to use and so convenient. This truly saves me time and money from not having to be there physically. The reports are very useful as well! I can see when the system ran, how long for each station, and when it is scheduled to run.

No problems so far. Item is working as expected to.

My Hunter Hydrawise controlled stopped watering for 10 days while on vacation and after I got it reset it stopped 7 days later and again stopped 10 day after that. It has stopped watering 3 times with no apparent reason. The controlled is suppose to keep watering even if it has issues connecting to WiFi. I tried to contact Hunter technical support with no response. I did received a reply email stating not to expect any help because they are overwhelmed with problems. Their controller is now in the junk.

I finally got this installed for the Spring start up last week. It was a slight learning curve, but I am so happy with having the power to control my sprinkler system through an app on my phone. I put out some grass seed to patch some bare spots and was able to immediately whip out my phone and start the zone up - too cool.

Installation is a two person job. Connecting to internet is snap, providing you which network and the password.J
