I’d recommend replacing that old irrigation controller with an Orbit B-Hyve controller that is mounted on the wall, outside the box. That’s easy to change out and wire, or you can pay someone to to it. The Orbit B-Hyve irrigation controller is a smart controller that knows about the weather forecasts and will automatically save you money on your water bill, paying for itself. After it pays for itself, they money you save on your water bill can be spent on something else. You can also program, control, and monitor the Orbit B-Hyve controller with your cellphone from anywhere. The smart irrigation controller has a WiFi connection, and needs to be located outside the metal shielded box, so it can use your WiFi. The Orbit B-Hyve irrigation controller is cheap, about $100 or less, depending on how many zones it has.
