Smart Sprinkler Timer & Controller Installation
Replace your old dial timer with a Wi-Fi smart controller. Run from your phone, adjust automatically to weather, and stay compliant with Miami-Dade & Broward schedules.

Smart Sprinkler Timer Installation in Miami
An outdated sprinkler controller is one of the biggest hidden water-wasters in a Miami home. A 15-year-old dial timer has no idea it just rained, no awareness of your local watering restrictions, and no way to adjust seasonally — so it runs the same schedule whether it's 95° in August or 65° in January.
A modern Wi-Fi smart controller fixes all of that. The Rain Bird ESP-Me3 / ST8WiFi, Hunter Hydrawise, and Rachio 3 are our three preferred installs. All three connect to your home's Wi-Fi, pull local weather forecasts, skip cycles when rain is expected, and let you run any zone from your phone.
We don't just bolt the new controller on the wall — we configure every zone (run time, soil type, plant type, sun exposure), set up the watering schedule to match Miami-Dade or Broward restrictions, integrate your existing rain sensor (or install one if needed), and walk you through the app on your phone.

Common Problems We Solve
Sound familiar? Here's what we usually find — and how we fix it.
Controller doesn't seem to follow its schedule
Often a dead memory backup battery on older controllers. After a power blip, the schedule resets. Smart controllers don't have this problem — programming is stored in the cloud.
System runs during/after rain
Either no rain sensor installed (Florida law requires one) or the rain sensor is bypassed. Smart controllers also use online forecasts to skip unnecessary cycles automatically.
Don't know how to adjust schedule for the season
Smart controllers do this automatically based on local evapotranspiration data. You set it once and they adjust through the year.
Our Process
Same approach on every job — diagnosis first, then fix.
Pick the right controller
We help you choose between Rain Bird, Hunter, and Rachio based on zone count, your home network, and what features you actually want.
Install & wire
Mount the new controller, transfer all zone wiring, install a transformer if needed, and remove the old unit.
Program every zone
Each zone gets the right run time, watering days, and seasonal adjustment. Schedule set to comply with Miami-Dade or Broward restrictions.
Connect & train
Connect to your home Wi-Fi, install the app on your phone, and walk you through running zones, pausing the system, and reading reports.
Frequently Asked Questions
About smart timer installation in Miami-Dade & Broward.
What does a smart sprinkler controller cost installed?
Most installs run $325–$525 including the controller, transformer if needed, full programming, app setup, and removal of the old unit. Higher-end Rachio 3 installs and larger zone-count systems cost a bit more.
Which smart controller is best — Rain Bird, Hunter, or Rachio?
All three are excellent. Rain Bird ESP-Me3 / ST8 and Hunter Hydrawise are the contractor favorites — extremely reliable, easy to service. Rachio 3 has the prettiest app and best weather intelligence. We help you choose based on zone count and your priorities.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use a smart controller?
No. Once it's set up, you almost never need to touch it. The controller adjusts itself based on weather. The app is mainly for pausing the system, running a manual zone, or seeing what ran when.
Will a smart controller really save water?
Yes — typically 20–50% on the irrigation portion of your water bill. The savings come from skipping cycles before/after rain, seasonal adjustment, and catching problems early through the app.
