Easy to install, just tedious connecting 20 wires to all my zones (avoiding $600 installation fee from my irrigation contractor). Set up via wifi link using my tablet was straight forward. It allowed me to authorize my irrigation system contractor to access the controller from their account.

Just terrible user interface. The app is too hard to use and doesn't have some features that one would expect. For example, I'd like to delay the watering program for a number of days. Or set it to run based on the forecast high or low temperature. Support is almost non-existent. Response time was over two months the one time I emailed support. We hoped that the controller could be configured to use our personal weather station rather than local weather stations. But it's unclear that this is possible because their documentation, support and app are so poor. I would NOT buy this again.

I've had thus for almost 2yrs. It works however I have to add extra watering cycles fir summer.A bit pricey compared with the trend of all electronics however less expensive than the original 24 station controller. I needed 18 stations.

I like the built-in wifi connectivity and the app that you install to configure and control the unit. I purchased this to replace my existing and fully functional RainBird irrigation controller. Unfortunately the RainBird unit that I had did not support wifi connectivity. I grew tired of having to physically open the RainBird whenever I needed to modify my programs or to manually start a zone/valve.

Replaced an old controller with this wi-fi enabled unit. It's smaller than the old one. It has much more functionality. The accompanying app adds lots of convenience like mapping out each zone/station with images and other details. Flexible watering schedules based on the weather and more. Now I can monitor and adjust my sprinkler activity from anywhere. It was worth the money. Glad I have it.

This is the 3rd one I have installed; I got this one for our HOA pool area so I can program it remotely. Very easy to install and program. I have one at our home and another at out lake property.

Built a house in 1999 and had a Rainbird ESP-16LX Plus installed. The system started having electronic glitches in terms of the LCD screen and operation. Read about all wifi access controllers. Rachio was tempting but the reviews on lack of service are concerning. Seems like they either work great or not so great. Hunter seems to outperform the Rainbird options. Decided to get the 20 station outdoor indoor model because of the ability to direct wire to a pigtail plug. Bought the wire numbering kit, methodically numbered all wires. Removed old controller and installed new one in about 30 minutes. The Hydrawise program is a little clunky in terms of options but once you figure it out, it is very easy to use. Signed up, found the controller. I did have the issue that the program only recognized 12 out of the 16 zones. Tried to search for solutions but could not find anything on the internet. Sent an email to service and the next day had a link to a lesson on how to add the last zones. Did it in 5 minutes. That is the kind of service I expect at a sub $400 price. It is almost exhilarating to walk around your yard with your cell phone turning zones on and off. I know this sounds crazy but it is the way things should work. This will save so much water because there is always one area that needs more attention. In a hot market, I could not find a company that would install a controller for under high $700s. If you are getting $1000 worth of work done, the controller prices drop but not if you just want a swap out. I understand the need to charge that. But I wanted to say, easy to install and excellent in terms of performance. Thank you Hunter.

I have been a Hunter user for years. I purchased this controller to update an older Hunter controller. This version is the outdoor version that has the transformer inside the unit (as opposed to the 2400i which has an external power transomer that can be plugged into an outlet) and a locking access door. I hardwired the unit inside the garage. Once powered up and solenoid wires were connected, the unit connected to my WiFi without issue. The WiFi signal is very strong even at the far side of my garage. All programming can be done via the mobile app. I am running iOS on both my iPhone and iPad. Once a free account is created your controller is accessible by multiple devices. You can name each station. The best part is the flexibility of the programming. You can create any number of programs that will run all valves, or any combination of selected valves. You can have one program for your lawns for example, another for drip, another for trees, etc. You can select which valves are to be assigned to each program. You can even add the same valve station to multiple programs. The cycle and soak function is nice if you want to deep water an area but want to avoid run off. For example, you can set a lawn station to run for 20 mins and then specifiy the rest cycle to allow the water to soak in before completing the remainder of the cycle (say 5 mins on, 5 off, 5 on, 5 off, 5 on, 5 off, and 5 on = 20 mins). The mobile app can be accessed from anywhere. I can suspend the watering based on weather or physical sensors in the yard. This unit is very well designed. If there is a WiFi issue, all functions can be accessed via the touch screen just as a normal timer would.
