Can anyone describe to me how we can expect that will work - does the builder have a controller with scheduling capability? Do we need to put in place a phone based controller so that we can manage it remotely while away? Any advice is greatly appreciated as we plan to set up our new home.
We, too, live in Well Point. The builder installed a Hunter controller. IMO, the first thing you must do is to purchase and install the WiFi module in the controller. It’s a bit less than $100. If you’re even a bit tech-savvy, then it’s DIY. Then install the Hydrawise app on your smart device. Of course, you’ll have to have an always-on data connection; Centric fiber is pre-installed in our Well Point home.

Good luck and welcome home.
