Hunter PRO-HC Wifi Sprinkler Controller Review

Okay, so we’re going to talk about the new pro hc. So the pro hc is a new controller for Hunter. It’s an outdoor box and also comes as an indoor box. It’s the same controller except the same door hand is actually on here except without the locking mechanism.

So on the controller, we also have the flash panel that’s designed so that if the door is left open and we do get some moisture on the controller or some dust it does keep it out of the inside of the controller.

On the inside of the controller we have our transformer, we have our sensors so we can connect both a flowmeter and rain sensor, soil sensor or any other level on/off sensor so we can connect them into here.

We have our power supply connection up here so if we do need to add any extra power for example for a wireless rain sensor that power supply is just connected up here.

We have a large terminal strip, that gives contractors plenty of access for connecting the wires. We also have a large big area in here so that when we’re fully wired up at 24 stations we’ve got plenty of space.

All of the range of controllers in the pro HC range 2 6 12 and 24 come with a built-in milliamp sensor that allows us to monitor the valves current so we can take high current and low current therefore if there is a problem we can actually detect it and send alerts. One of the biggest problems for customers is that there’s a damaged wire and they don’t know about it the end result is dead ground. We avoid that straight away!

So two sensor boards 24 stations. The controller is based on the original hc controller. So it’s a touchscreen. So touch screen operation.

The advantage of the touch screen is it gives us a newer look a fresher look in it and customers really like that for programming. The other advantage of the touch screen is it makes setting up wi-fi much easier. So we can actually set up wi-fi, really simply entering in passwords things like that. We can allow that for the homeowner to actually set that password up.

The indoor model is exactly the same apart from we have a plug pack transformer instead of a built-in transformer. So the Hunter warranty is two years.

We also have our technical service team, so if people do have a problem they can get on to either support at hydrawise.com or they could get on the phone and talk to our technical service people.

We also have on hydrawise.com website a huge support section for supporting the software, the Hydrawise software and the pro HC is there’s a support material on the Hunter industries website under support.

The pro hc this is why you should be using it, we’re going to connect to the Hydrawise software, we’ve got all of the functionality that you’re used to and you like, the big tough box, plenty of wiring space. We’ve got all of that but we can connect to Hydrawise software.

That means you can manage and monitor your customer’s controllers. So now you can get flow alerts, you can get wire alerts, you can get your controller is not connected alerts and you can keep your customers place green without having to go to the site.
