We use Hunter Controllers frequently on our projects. They have just launched a new smart controller module, Solar Sync, which adjusts programing for solar exposure, temperature, and rainfall. The multifunction sensor has a sensor for sunlight, can detect freezing temperatures, and turn the controller off in case of rain. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike Hunter&#8217;s fancier ET system, the Solar Sync is cost effective and easy to program, with a simple module that adjusts the percent application of irrigation. Just program the controller for what normal watering would be during the hottest month of the year, make a few minor adjustments and the Solar Sync does the rest. Say it is 50 degrees on average during the month March, Solar Sync may only apply 10-20% of the normal maximum watering. The module recalculates the percent application each night, ensuring that plants are watered appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>For more visit Hunter&#8217;s Solar Sync page<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"solarsync.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oclandscape.com\/ocblog\/solarsync.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"margin: 0pt auto 20px; text-align: center; display: block;\" width=\"450\" height=\"110\" \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just had a meeting with our local rep from Hunter Irrigation.
