The portions of the irrigation controller shown in broken lines form no part of the claimed design. In the first embodiment of the irrigation controller, the pair of closely adjacent, jagged dash-dot-dot broken lines in the drawings (shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 7, and 11-15) comprise a symbolic break in its height. The appearance of any portion of the irrigation controller between the jagged dash-dot-dot broken lines forms no part of the claimed design. The pair of jagged dash-dot-dot broken lines themselves form no part of the claimed design. Portions of the screen and screen perimeter between the jagged dash-dot-dot broken lines have been removed from FIGS. 1, 2, 7 and 11-15 for clarity.
