Hire a UXD Team – HydraWise Irrigation Review

The design and usability on the app is challenging. Very 90s feel to the views, navigation and controls. I am ready to go back to an inferior controller (RainMachine) because it was easy to use and see what was going on. I think that the Hunter system is more scalable and Enterprise/Industrial ready but the average homeowner is going to care more about how to configure and rely on the weather forecasting rather than learn about the solenoid levels on the sprinkler heads. No matter what I do, I can’t get the sprinkler system not to bypass a cycle when either a) it just poured b) it is pouring or c) it is predicted to (and then does!) pour. The forecast data is not being used in a digestible way. If you are a contractor or installer, this thing is awesome. You can see all of your customers and diagnose many problems without coming on site. If you are the average homeowner looking for a smart sprinkler system to save some money on water and do what is right for the environment, skip this and get a Rachio or a RainMachine.
