Improvements in a thermostat for HVAC control and an irrigation controller for sprinkler control are constructed each with a Base Unit and a removable User Interface Unit. The dual-function Base Unit is configurable for use as either a thermostat or an irrigation controller. The Base Unit has a connector for connection to a separate User Interface (UI) Unit. The separate UI Unit has a display, controls, and I/O Connector for connection to a Base Unit or an external computer. The UI Unit adaptively operates as a thermostat interface or irrigation interface, as is appropriate for the configuration of a connected Base Unit. The UI Unit can be connected via its I/O Connector to a PC, tablet PC, or smart phone for configuration of operational control settings using application software. The configuration settings are transferred from a UI Unit to a Base Unit upon connection via the I/O Connector.
