Can any of you please share your best recommendations for a reliable replacement irrigation controller and rain sensor that are wifi-capable and can be controlled remotely? Thanks!
I replaced mine with the Hunter X2 and a WAND wifi module. I paid a service to replace it but after watching them I could have ordered it off Amazon and installed it myself for much less.

I did not replace the rain sensor. The combination I have uses a weather service somewhere that monitors several stations around me and makes a reasonable guess at what my weather will be. It has been pretty accurate so far.

There are at least two others that many users will recommend. I'm happy with what I have but the others might be just as good or better.
