ProfessionalSmart Sprinkler Controller Setup

A smart sprinkler controller skips watering when rain is coming and adjusts run times based on the weather — but only if the zones are wired and programmed correctly. We swap out your old timer, map all your irrigation zones, and set up the app so your lawn stays green on the most efficient schedule possible.

How it works

Remove and label existing wiring

We photograph the current timer wiring before removing it so each zone wire maps correctly to the new controller's terminals.

Mount and configure

We mount the new controller, reconnect every zone wire, connect to Wi-Fi, and enter your zone details in the app.

Test all zones and enable smart features

We cycle through every zone to confirm each valve activates, then enable weather skip and seasonal adjustment features.

We can help

Problems we fix

More irrigation zones than the base controller's zone count, requiring an add-on module
No common wire in older wiring preventing the controller from powering correctly
Weak Wi-Fi at the controller's wall location inside the garage
Zone labeling on the old timer not matching the actual yard layout

Smart Sprinkler Controller Setup — FAQ

Will my existing irrigation wiring work with a smart controller?

In most cases, yes. We check zone count, wire colors, and whether a common wire is present. If the wiring configuration is unusual, we sort it out on the spot.

How does weather-based watering work?

The controller connects to a weather service and skips or reduces watering when rain is forecast or when recent rainfall is factored in. Setup involves entering your location and enabling the feature, which we do during installation.

Can I still run zones manually from the controller?

Every smart controller we set up retains manual zone control both on the device and in the app, so you can run a specific zone any time without waiting for a scheduled cycle.

What if I have more zones than the controller supports?

Many smart controllers support add-on modules for additional zones. We check your zone count before we start and let you know if an expansion module is needed.
