The solar sync sensor on my unit completely quit working at less than 2 years old. I called Hunter Tech Support (very nice and very helpful folks), and learned those sensors are warrantied for 5 years. But...Hunter cannot send you a replacement, you must go through the installing dealer. The dealer confirmed the sensor warranty, but wanted $115 labor to install. They would not simply provide me with a new sensor to install myself.
I wound up replacing my controller with a Hunter WiFi controller, and have been very happy with that decision. The WiFi controllers don't need the external sensor, have many more features and benefits, and you can control them with your phone. Yeah, it was an expense of about $140, but in my view, money well spent. Then again, maybe the solar sync sensor going bad just gave me an excuse to go WiFi!
