Same here. Box looked beat up, invoice also said “open box.” The ac adapter was loose in the box, not packaged in its own box like when it comes new. Woot said I could return it or they would give me...

I bought a generation 1 6-zone for $160. Now Gen 2 costs half the price. I also bought Echo dot Gen 1 for $100, now Echo dot costs less than $20. Lessons learned: Never buy any Gen 1 electronics.

Yes, it will be an easy swap. All controllers are basically the same. They use 1 smaller wire that goes to each zone from your controller. Normally, not always it’s a 24volt “hot” wire. They...

If it's new enough you can always just replace the faceplate of the pro c to an HC which is weather based.

Pressure washer is a clever digging tool. I may need to rent one and try that. The dirt here is so very hard and digging with shovels or picks is hard.
