Wand for X2™ Remote Management Wi-Fi Module

I like it but it is hard to get it to connect to my wifi.

Hunter has done an outstanding job with this one. Simple, fast setup. When Bluetooth is pairing for the first time, the 6-digit code it's looking for will be shown on the X2's LCD screen. The iOS app and the web UI are well done, clear. You can walk around in your yard, turning sprinklers off and on with a touch on your phone. Buy it! Best $132 or whatever it is you ever spent. Last detail: if you tell it to, it will upload whatever programming you or your landscaper have loaded into your X2 to the Hydrawise web backend, from which you can run it via WiFi. Pretty sweet. The hissing of summer lawns, to quote Joni Mitchell.

I purchased the WAND through a local dealer which ended up not working. So I ordered another WAND through Amazon and the second one didn’t work. I returned it for this 3rd WAND. Guess what, it doesn’t work. I am now going to disconnect the Hunter controller altogether and go with a different Brand.

It took me about 4 different tries to connect it. I finally restarted my modem and it recognized the Wand module. Now that it works, it’s great.

Works great for our irrigation system. Now I can control our irrigation system with my phone. The app is free and there's a learning curve if you are not too techy. But once you set up everything, it does the job well. The app also give you reports of your water usage/savings.

It took me a long time to figure out how to get the wand connected to the internet. I could get the controller connected, but not the wand. There are 3 ways - (1) bluetooth which didn't work, (2) SAP mode which didn't work, and (3) Pbc WPS mode which finally worked. in addition to pressing the black button on the wand, you have to press the WPS button on your router. Go to X2 troubleshooting on the support.hydrawise.com website for help. Most of the setup instructions and illustrations are for other models. I haven't actually used the app functionality yet, but am hopeful it will be easy based on other buyers' comments.

this was super easy to install. It also makes watering your lawn more efficient. It saves water plus prevents overwatering in the event it rains. Its easy to adjust the start times as the days get shorter.

I bought this software as a Christmas gift to put into Hunter Lawn sprinkler system box. I am always concerned about software being shipped safely. I have to say this was shipped in original Hunter box and then they used heavy duty soft packaging so the Hunter Wand X2 software could not be damaged even with bad handling from the shipping company. Jamie the owner even sent a note with contact information so I could call her or email if there was a problem in packing and shipping. I would buy again from this vendor.

Great addition, makes it far more useable
