SAN MARCOS, Calif. – Hunter Industries has announced the acquisition of Hydrawise, a manufacturer of Wi-Fi based irrigation controllers and web-based software. This acquisition marks a step by Hunter into the internet of things for control, management and optimization of residential and commercial landscape irrigation.
This acquisition allows Hunter to enter the Wi-Fi enabled controller market with its new HC irrigation controller. The HC offers contractors internet accessibility enabling them to manage all of their sites from anywhere they are connected.
"We're excited about bringing this technology to professionals and end users around the world. This fills an important niche and helps our contractor customers efficiently manage all their sites remotely. It also allows their customer, the homeowner, an easy way to operate their own system," said Greg Hunter, president of Hunter Industries.
The HC Controller offers easy configuration using a standard web browser or smart device app. All that’s needed is a wireless password. With the HC Controller, users can select a local weather station and set watering triggers for predictive watering adjustments. These adjustments offer significant water savings since they are made based on the local weather conditions.
