Personally, I like the Rachio 3.
Call Chuck, he can install one for you if you can't do it yourself.

I installed my own and setup was easy. Turn on/off via app. Make adjustments, it tells you run times, rain and frost skips. It tells you how much water you saved due to rain skips. You just need to have the original manual for wiring comparison to change it over. The manual is available online for the Hunter sprinklers. Make sure you check how many zones you have. Rachio has several models available based on number of zones. It appears there are now only 8 & 16 zone controllers with a few 4 zone controllers still left on Amazon.
