Hunter Wi-Fi Sprinkler Controller Pro-HC600, 6-Zone Smart Irrigation Timer with Weather-Adaptive Scheduling

The Hunter PRO-HC600 is a rugged, 6-zone Wi‑Fi sprinkler controller that gives contractors remote access, weather-adaptive scheduling, and built-in diagnostics for reliable irrigation management.

Designed for professional landscape and irrigation installers, the Pro‑HC600 combines a durable, UV‑resistant cabinet and an easy-to-read full‑color touchscreen with Hydrawise cloud connectivity. It supports zone-specific run and start times, a pump/master valve output, two sensor ports, and a milliamp wiring monitor to speed troubleshooting. The controller pairs local programming convenience with remote adjustments, predictive watering, and optional flow sensing to reduce water waste and simplify maintenance.

How does the PRO-HC600 connect and adapt watering from anywhere?

The Pro‑HC600 uses built‑in 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi to link to the Hydrawise web and mobile app, enabling schedule changes, manual starts, and system monitoring from phones, tablets, or desktops. Predictive weather inputs taken from local forecasts inform automatic schedule adjustments to avoid overwatering.

• 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi built in for Hydrawise cloud access
• Remote start/stop, schedule edits, and diagnostics via app or web
• Weather-based adjustments using temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind
• Local touchscreen allows direct programming without a device

What programming and zone controls does it offer?

The unit manages up to six individual zones with separate run times and multiple start times, plus standard and advanced programming modes for flexible scheduling. A dedicated P/MV output supports a pump start relay or master valve control for larger systems.

• Six station outputs with independent run and start settings
• Standard and advanced program modes to match irrigation needs
• P/MV output for pump start relay or master valve activation
• On‑panel testing and programming via 2.75" full‑color touchscreen

How does the Pro‑HC600 help detect faults or water loss?

Two sensor ports accept Clik rain sensors or an optional HC Flow Meter to pause irrigation for rain or abnormal flow. The integrated milliamp sensor continuously monitors wiring integrity and flags faults so technicians can diagnose issues faster.

• Two sensor inputs for Clik sensors or flow meter integration
• Optional HC Flow Meter enables automatic shutoff on abnormal flow
• Continuous milliamp sensing to detect wiring shorts or opens
• Push alerts through Hydrawise for rain, flow faults, or wiring issues

What are the physical and installation features to know?

The controller ships in a UV‑resistant plastic cabinet rated IP44 for indoor or outdoor mounting and includes a preinstalled 5‑foot cord with a 120V plug for fast electrical connection. The interior is laid out with ample room for neat wiring and standard terminal labeling to streamline installation on residential and light commercial sites.
