You can also control it via desktop or laptop. I use my smartphone and tablet. It is much, much easier to change settings that way then a traditional panel. Plus the convenience of adding or overriding a rain delay or adding extra water to a zone from your living room. I always found the old Hunter controllers difficult to figure out. The Bhyve is a breeze. Plenty of youtube videos out there for tips and tricks. Install is very easy but make sure you take a picture of the old wiring first so you don't get the colors/zones mixed up.
