Hunter WAND Smart WiFi Module for X2 Sprinkler Controller, Hydrawise App, Remote Scheduling, 2.4GHz WiFi Only, Supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct & WPS Setup

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).

Absolutely terrible product. Both the timer and the WiFi wand. The first wand I purchased could hardly connect either to my phone through Bluetooth or to my WiFi router. If I was lucky enough to connect to WiFi after days of trying, it would only remain connected for a few days then it would drop wifi for weeks. Direct WiFi pairing worked rarely and randomly and Bluetooth connection to my phone was no better. This went on for a year of fighting with the thing until I gave up. I figured it was a bad wand so I purchased another one. It paired successfully through the Bluetooth method on the first try and remained connected for maybe 4 weeks. Once again, the same problems as the old wand arose. The Bluetooth connection to my phone never functioning and no ability to connect to WiFi through its other methods. I have WiFi extenders that provide perfect WiFi coverage to any device near that area. I am probably going to go with an entirely different timer. Waste of money.

The Hunter WAND Smart WiFi Module has been a game changer for managing my irrigation. Setup was easy and painless — the Hydrawise app walked me through connecting via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and even offered options like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct for flexible setup. Within minutes, I had full control of my X2 controller from my phone. The remote scheduling features are fantastic. I can adjust watering times and zones without ever going to the controller, and the app’s intuitive interface makes it simple even for non-techy users. I especially love how I can tweak schedules based on changing weather patterns. Since installing the WAND module, I’ve saved time and water — it’s smart, responsive, and reliable. Overall this was a great upgrade to my sprinkler system and definitely worth it if you want convenient remote control and smarter irrigation scheduling!

I had our home’s irrigation installed a week or so before I realized that you needed to purchase this ‘WI-FI Wand’ adapter/installable WiFi/bluetooth device to our Hunter X2 system. I read a bunch of terrible reviews and am still confused with why they left such bad reviews. This was the easiest thing I’ve installed in a very long time. If you can just be patient, download the hydrawise app, create an account, then follow the 3 simple step instructions, it is an incredible addition to our irrigation system. I couldn’t be happier. Also I don’t need to buy a weather sensor after installing the Hunter WiFi/Bluetooth ‘Wand’ because it connects to your location and provides accurate weather forecasts. This makes saving water so much easier for us. I couldn’t be happier with this add on. Only thing I can think to complain about is that Hunter should sell the X2 Controller with the adapter or without as options. That way you don’t expect you’re getting a WiFi controller included like we thought. Even the irrigation installation company thought it came with this Wand but, definitely not, otherwise- if you have a Hunter X2 Irrigation system without this WiFi Wand insert, it is SO SO worth it.

I had a heck of a time hooking this up, returned it, then bought a replacement thinking that it was defective. I had the same issue with the second one even after I installed a Eero extender in the garage. I did some additional research and discovered I could suspend the 5 thx side of mybEero WiFi leaving only the 2.4 side active. That did the trick. Got it paired and working. The features are great. It has dropped connection twice. I then suspend the 5 ghrz side of my wifi for a bit and the hydro reattaches itself without further intervention. I would have rated it a five if it was easier to pair and didn't drop it's pairing for some reason. My Eero extender is about 15 clear feet any with strong signal.

Our home builder was too cheap to include this with our irrigation system, so here I am. Anyway, it was super easy to set up, and the app is user friendly. The negative reviews of it are perplexing. If you’ve ever set up any smart device, like a fan or lightbulb, it’ll take you 2 minutes to get it going. I will say that I bought the new option and not the "used like new" version. I personally have had bad experiences with used smart devices being linked to an old home and it complicated things. Not sure if that would be the case here or not, but I suspect could be since it is set up by using the serial number on the module itself, and not the wall mounted irrigation system.

We purchased this item in Sept and were waiting for our irrigation technician to install and help with programming. The item did not work. It was a 2023 model. Technician said that they have had many issues with the 2023 model. We then ordered another one, which was a 2025 model and it works great. We tried to return the 2023 one as it was defective but it was too late, ( I think you only have 30 days). So, we are not able to. Moral of the story, check the date on the item. If it is not a 2025 model, return it right away. Very disappointed that we were not able to return a defective item, even if it were just to be exchanged for a new one. Seems very unfair to waste your money on something that is defective and many others have also found it defective. The 2023 model should not be shipped out to people. Feels like theft.

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.

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.
