Hunter Wand WiFi Module for X2 Sprinkler Controller, Hydrawise App, 2.4GHz

I have only had this for almost 1 month. Here is what I found: My X2 is not compatible with bluetooth but they stated that so it was not a problem. I used WIFI interface to initially establish the link. I found it easier to setup an account and the Hunter using my laptop. After it was setup I simply added the app to my phone. The entire setup was downloaded to the app and now I control the Hunter with my phone. Read everything when you go to new pages on the app; I read quickly at first only to have to reread the page to find the error in my way. The WIFI also connects to weather stations to help setup you app. For example, one setting I have is to not water if the wind speed is > 19 MPH (why water the lawn next door).

Stay away from Hunter. I am getting rid of my Hunter X2 controller because this is just pure trash. I have had this system for 3 very long years. It has been nothing but a headache. It never stays connected, the zones rarely activate when started remotely. I uploaded a video showing "Off Line", which is the state it is in 90% of the time, no matter what you do. My guess is they took somehow who is really good at sprinklers and told them they needed to develop an app and hardware. He probably took night classes to learn to code, and it resulted in this abomination. Not his fault, obviously incompetent leadership at Hunter. I'm hoping to find something higher quality than this "Great Values" product. I hate this product. I hate this company. I will never give them another penny after wasting my money on this system and fighting it for three long years.

absolutely love the wifi-enabled irrigation module/app. connected, installed, tested & works wonderfully well. even has home weather sync so system knows when to water more or less dependent on sunny/rainy days. can activate within a touch of button on the app & so much more. install was a breeze & connected to home wifi instantly--and no monthly subscription required.

I'll admit, getting the Hunter WAND connected took more effort than I expected, but now that it's up and running, I absolutely love it. The biggest hurdle turned out to be my router settings, not the WAND itself. In my case, I had to separate my 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks and give each one its own unique password. I also had to change my 2.4 GHz network to 802.11 b/g/n mode before the WAND would connect and stay connected. One thing that would have saved me a lot of frustration is knowing there's a specific installation sequence. Don't install the WAND first and then start the setup. Begin the setup in the app, insert the WAND when prompted, and then complete the setup. Following that order made all the difference. Once everything was configured correctly, it has been flawless. The best part is that I don't have to constantly adjust my watering schedule. I set it up once, and the system has features that does the rest. When the weather is hotter, it automatically adjusts the watering time. If it has rained enough, it skips the scheduled watering and even lets me know that it was skipped because of the rainfall. That's a feature I didn't realize I'd appreciate so much until I started using it. I can control my sprinkler system from anywhere, make schedule changes in seconds, and I haven't lost connection once since getting everything set up properly. If you're struggling with the initial setup, don't assume the WAND is the problem. Check your router settings and follow the installation sequence carefully. Once everything is configured correctly, this is an outstanding product that makes managing an irrigation system almost effortless. The only disappointment was customer service. I called twice, and unfortunately neither representative was able to solve the problem. After about four days of researching, troubleshooting, and trying different solutions, I finally figured it out myself. I wish the support team had been more familiar with the setup process because it would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. That said, now that everything is working, I'm extremely happy with the product and would absolutely buy it again.

All set, works After reading materials and visiting the website I downloaded the APP and used the setup wizard. Used the Bluetooth connection to setup. After trying to download the existing program that took way too long I started over and chose not to download and created a new program. Once connected the app is really easy to use. Getting connected can be a challenge, I think I restarted the process 2 or 3 times. Setup process is not idiot proof, you need to pay attention to details. I like the weather monitoring idea, hope it works.

The Ping‑Pong Warranty Disaster Burned Out After 2.5 Months — Amazon & Hunter Both Refused to HelpI bought this Hunter Wi‑Fi module in March, and by early June it completely burned out. No Wi‑Fi, no setup mode, nothing. I contacted Amazon first — after multiple attempts, they told me to call Hunter.Hunter finally answered after several tries and walked me through the same troubleshooting steps I’ve already done at least 15 times. After all that, they confirmed the module was burned out and covered under warranty… until I told them I bought it from Amazon. Then suddenly it was “Amazon’s responsibility.”So I called Amazon again, went through the same exhausting process, and finally reached someone who said they filed an A‑to‑Z claim and I’d get a replacement or email within two weeks.Two weeks later: no email, no call, no replacement. Nothing.This product failed in under three months, and neither Amazon nor Hunter will stand behind it. Save yourself the headache and buy from a retailer that actually honors warranties — Home Depot, Lowe’s, literally anyone else.

I am so glad I got this Hydrawise smart Wi-Fi module for my x2 programmable sprinkler. As it do it yourself or senior citizen I was still able to learn how to operate this with the YouTube videos that Hydrawise provides, and it was amazing how it works when I go on a trip I could still check my system and make sure I get enough water in the Arizona sun. It’s a great product.

Works great ! Control your irrigation system and programming and see when it was on via phone app from anywhere in the world ! Change schedules to match water restrictions even if you are not there to change it!

I like this product. It saves water and can easily control irrigation from my mobile.

Can be installed and setup very quick and the use is very easy with the application.

Einfach Top, mit dem Handy alles steuern und die Übersicht behalten!

Es una maravilla, es muy fácil de organizar y establecer los tipos de riego. Lo recomiendo porque desde cualquier lugar en que estoy puedo activar o desactivar el sistema de riego.

No me gustó porque es difícil de configurar para principiantes, aun no puedo configurarlo pero sigo intentando.
