Battery-powered Bluetooth sprinkler controller praised for easy setup and app-based programming. Customers said it's "life-changing" compared to old models, with simple installation and convenient scheduling. However, Bluetooth range is limited to 15-20 feet (not 50 as stated), and one shopper noted water resistance issues in flooded valve boxes.

Good, but with some issues

I have three of these in use for our HOA landscape. They are better than the old non-Bluetooth nodes but there are some things that aren't as stated. The good thing is you can make the adjustments without getting down on the ground, opening the valve box, and physically making any adjustments. The two items that aren't so good is 1) you must be much closer than 50 feet for them to connect. I would say 15 to 20 ft max and 2) they do not function in 12 inches of water as stated. I have one that if the valve box has water in it, I have to get the node out to use it. All in all, this is a big improvement over the traditional node but know they still have some issues.

Great battery powered controller

I have been replacing old style Nodes with these. The bluetooth and app are great for checking without having to pull the controller out of valve box.

Solenoid can be changed to fit other valves

I needed a sprinkler controller for a single valve. Other devices require manual programming, and I had been disappointed in battery life. This unit has Bluetooth and a decent app that allows seasonal adjustment. The problem with this product is that the solenoid only fits Hunter valves, which have a smaller diameter screw hole for the solenoid.I figured out that latching valves from Orbit and Rainbird have compatible voltage ratings, and can be grafted onto the NODE-BT wiring. I used soldered connections and heatshrink tube with glue to switch the solenoids, The red/black wires are correct, but you should still check them before you install.

World great! Just not from afar

Works great! Right out of the box after you run your drip system. The interface on your phone is clear. My only complaint is that it doesnt work from far away like a google nest thermometer would work for example. So you have to be standing right next to it to change anything. Perhaps that will be in a later update. Great product!

Easy watering

Works well, quick replacement install, no issues. Now I don't have to go digging in the ground to turn on the system.

Don't hesitate to buy... it's that good. Fixes all the problems of the old one.

Life-changing compared to my impossible-to-program original Hunter timer. Bluetooth and the ability to program and modify settings via app made ALL the difference. If you had a Hunter controller like its predecessor, think of the upgrade as Flintstones to Jetsons. I thought I could never forgive Hunter for their old POS controller, but their EXTREME MAKEOVER of this device has allowed me to forgive the past, yet not forget. To be clear, I love this new Hunter controller.

Very useful!

I got this to control a lawn sprinkler zone in a unique location. Easy to set up and navigate thru the phone app.

Simple to use and great product

I replaced the previous version Node with the screen with this new Bluetooth model. Connecting it took 2 minutes and once I'd downloaded the app it was very quick to set up and I was watering my grass in no time at all.This is a fantastic product with a very simple user interface. I highly recommend this product.

Works as described

Easy to program and install. Make sure you have a Hunter valve, as any others don't seal well and leak out the solenoid during operation. Typical bluetooth range of about 30'-50'

Latching DC solenoid required

I use this instead of the Add-A-Zone that all irrigation techs use. easy to program. app works great on the iphone. customer can control this much easier that the wired AAZ. Its a hunter product to replace old styleNodes.

Great upgrade to our sprinkler system!

We had contractors cut the lines on our sprinkler timers in our entire neighborhood, and its going to take months to fix. Thanks to this amazing product, out sprinklers were back up and running in no time. We can build schedules, start on demand, all from the app on our phone. Very convenient!

Programming in the app is so much easier than the non-bluetooth Node.

I had the original Node valve controller and I dreaded programming the device. Although the bluetooth range of this device is limited as others have mentioned, it still works from within my house. Setting up times, schedules, or making any modifications to the programming is SO MUCH EASIER in the app than the previous combinations of button pressing on the little LCD screen. I am very pleased with the water proofing used on this device as well. It should last for a long time.

Best purchase in awhile

Such an easy solution to an annoying problem, wish we done this sooner. We previously had a simple hunter controller in the ground running our sprinkler system. This was fine unless the time changed, or it rained and we didnt need to water, or we needed to water the lawn after a fertilizer application. On a whim I googled Bluetooth sprinkler controllers and found this guy, who while being simple to use and install solved all of our problems. Literally too like 5 minutes tops to install and set up on the app. Worth every penny.

Unedited opinion
Ended up buying a second one.

Somehow the plumbers broke the first one. Did work great. They installed a irrigation back flow system, installed this in green box rewiring/threading the Solenoid through a pipe to the surface that is too small to retract it the other way should it break. Meaning after theyre finished and it no longer worked I cant just slip the old one out and slip new one in. Make sure they use a pipe so solonoid goes through easily so that you can change it out when it breaks. In the meantime, it is working, just fine living all inside the green box in the ground with the lid on, no exterior mount. I have to take that bracket down after I know a second summer it communicates (20 feet away from modem love WIFI) with my phone living fully inside the irrigation box. So good I bought a second one without fighting/begging the plumbers about anything. The photo is the one that no longer works installed above ground. Hope this helps someone.

Nice upgrade from the previous version

Bluetooth connection and programming from the cell phone app is a big improvement.

Game changer

My husband bought 3 blueberry plants and then my OCD kicked in. I had a hard plumbed underground sprinkler zone for several fruit trees for almost 20yrs. I hated reaching in the dark, dank meter box for the shutoff. I went to YouTube for solutions. Low and behold...there was this highly rated, heavily reviewed bluetooth, battery operated way of avoiding the black widows etc that were ready freak me out. Bought a bigger box, dug out, laid gravel and replaced the run in the box complete with unions on both sides of set up. I was impressed by the YouTube pros way of doing it. I told my husband we were not getting any younger and this way would make any future repairs easier. I have only used this for not quite 2 months, but I wish it had been in our arsenal years ago. I will buy another controller for my raised garden beds next season. I have big plans for that...can you hear my OCD wheels grinding?
