Traditionally, irrigation controllers were referred to as irrigation timers. As timers became more sophisticated with many control features, the name has evolved to irrigation controllers. Irrigation controllers, with the ability for remote control via Wi-fi, are known as Smart Controllers or Wi-fi irrigation controllers. These super sophisticated controllers allow you to control your irrigation system from anywhere in the world.
