Hunter’s Pro-C controller has been a reliable workhorse for irrigation pros for years. The HPC-FP face panel brings that familiar hardware into the Wi-Fi era without forcing you to tear out wiring or start from scratch. It’s a direct swap for modular and fixed station controllers built after March 2014. That means you keep your existing setup and gain remote access, scheduling, and weather-based adjustments through the Hydrawise platform.

Installation takes about ten minutes. Pop off the old faceplate, snap this one in, and connect it to your home Wi-Fi. The white plastic panel matches the original Pro-C aesthetic and fits the standard 8 x 8 x 4-inch footprint. Once online, you get 21 programmable settings per station, which covers everything from drip zones to rotor heads. The Hydrawise app handles the heavy lifting: real-time weather data adjusts watering schedules automatically, and you can override or pause zones from your phone. No more running outside in the rain to turn off sprinklers.

The catch is that this is the face panel only. If your Pro-C controller predates March 2014, it won’t work. And you still need the base unit and wiring in place. For anyone with a compatible controller, this is a straightforward upgrade that adds smart functionality without the cost or hassle of a full system replacement.
