Lawn irrigation - what controller do you use?

[nagooro]

Having irrigation installed in my front and backyard (3 zones). The installer is recommending Netro, which seems to be somewhat new, but does have a fair amount of positive reviews on amazon. Has anyone heard of it or use it? What are you using?

As a backup I would probably ask to go with Rachio which seems to be the most used controller.

Orbit B-Hyve, since everything else is Orbit. It’s nice having all parts readily available at Home Depot.

My rachio had been great

Have had Orbit in past, liked it. Super simple to setup. New house has a Rainbird controller which looks a bit busy, but gets it done.

Who did you go with for the installation and how much?

Went with Orbit for my set-up. Have had it for about 3-4 years, no issues so far.

Yardbuild.ca, would have to look at the quote, but comes out to about $700-800ish per zone.

I'm using a Hunter controller for 3 zones (can control 4). I used McKenzie Lake Landscaping and it was about $1200 for everything (about 4 years ago).
