About Hunter Hydrawise
Hydrawise is the smart Wi-Fi irrigation platform from Hunter Industries, the family-owned California irrigation company founded in 1981 and based in San Marcos. Acquired by Hunter in 2016, Hydrawise powers Wi-Fi controllers such as the Pro-HC and HC, the HPC panel that upgrades Hunter's Pro-C, and the WAND module for the X2 controller. The Hydrawise app uses local weather forecasts through Predictive Watering to skip or shorten cycles automatically, and supports flow metering, remote multi-site management for contractors, and voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Hunter serves homeowners and professional irrigation installers worldwide.
