This Weather Smart Pro is a real easy unit to set up! You can get fancy with the wiring to set it up as I did, I set it on the wall by my front door and ran wire thru plastic conduit to each of my 4 zones I have. Timer setting is real easy!! If you need to bypass it you can also do that too. I set the whole thing up in under 2 hours start to finish. I used CAT 5E cable thru the wall, then put a 1/2 inch conduit in out side and ran it to the control heads of each of the 4 stations I have for my system. When the set up was done, I did a test of the whole system. each leg worked fine manually. I set the rain meter on top of my fence post and did a test run to simulate rain with a hose. It did not let the system turn on the sprinklers. Then I did a quick shower and it came on for about 7 to 10 minutes per station. I set the final settings and did about 45 days of use. My water usage went down by almost 60% as we get a lot of rain in South Florida!!! I am very happy with the results and so is my wallet!!
