This product appears to be new. It was purchased as part of a lot of Amazon returns, and did not include any other items. What you see in the photos is what you get. It will need a 1A 6volt DC adapter in order to operate.
I plugged this hub in and was able to connect via the Rachio app. I then reset the Hub and cleared it from my account to ensure that it will work for the next owner. Again, this device is fully operational it just doesn't include any water valves, power adapter, or instruction manual. The instructions are available via the Rachio app and it does a great job of walking you through all the needed steps.
For anyone wanting to expand their watering capabilities or replace an old hub, this is a great chance to buy the WI-FI Hub all on it's own!
