Another vote for Rachio!

The cost for the Hunter wi-fi module was about the same as the 4-zone Rachio (Home Depot with a 15% off coupon.) I already had a Rachio in use at another location so it was really a no-brainer for me. Really simple install too.

I replaced the Hunter controller about 4 years ago in my home and last year in my sisters place. I used a Rachio for both replacements. We both love our Rachio controllers. I control my system with an app on my phone and love the rain skip from upcoming rain.

The Rachio works well. Just wish there was a closer weather station to my house. Village Tinker, hint,hint, hint.

After holding on the HydraWise help line for just over an hour, I clicked off 1/1/1 for them to call me back when I hit their queue. They called about 10 minutes later. Fix was quite simple; he got me there in about 2 minutes! If you are choosing even or odd days, you have to click all seven days "on" in the program settings menu. Will see tomorrow if that worked; I have it on even days so I should see auto irrigation tomorrow morning. Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the "I went away from Hunter" replies, but we decided to stick with the Hunter equipment.

I have B-hyve and it is perfect. You can buy for like $105 on Amazon. Rachio is $199, can't imagine any way it could be better. B-hyve has everything you need at about 1/2 the cost. It takes about 1/2 hour to put in, and the APP is excellent.
