Agree with this. I installed the version that also has controls at the box but the 4 station B Hyve works well using your computer or phone (with the free app). Installation is just a wire for wire replacement with your old controller. Took me about 30 minutes for the physical installation and about 30 minutes to program it. Google Orbit B-hyve for info.
