## Description

NODE-BT is a Bluetooth®-enabled, app-configured irrigation controller from Hunter Industries that lets you automatically irrigate any plant material lacking AC power and not having to open the valve box!

NODE-BT is quick to install, and swift to program and operate. The app provides convenient features originally on NODE, now with new enhancements all accessed from a smartphone. This means no more crossing traffic to get to roadway medians, searching for controllers in overgrown bushes, and opening dirty and potentially dangerous valve boxes.

This app allows you to:

• Remotely manage unlimited NODE-BT controllers up to 50' (15 m) away

• Manually start, stop, or suspend irrigation for up to 99 days

• Configure watering schedules with 3 programs and 8 start times each

• Activate rain or soil moisture sensors, and set monthly seasonal adjust

• See controller status, total watering and next start times, watering calendar, and irrigation logs

• View battery health and signal status

• Set battery change reminders every 3, 6, 9, or 12 months

• Pin controllers on a map for faster locating

• Copy and paste schedules from controller to controller for faster setup

• View and edit irrigation schedules offline

• View controller event logs and share with other members

• Assign images and rename stations and controllers

• Add a passcode to each controller for additional security

## Review summary

Users generally praise the Hunter NODE-BT app for its very user-friendly interface and strong scheduling capabilities, including offline scheduling for multiple controllers and automatic schedule updates. However, widespread issues persist: Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable with frequent disconnects and short range, making remote control difficult. The app itself is unstable and prone to crashes across devices and after updates. Support is often cited as inadequate or hard to reach. Scheduling features can be inconsistent, with trouble applying schedules or occasional crashes when switching modes. Some download/install problems occur on iPad/iPhone as well. Overall, reliability challenges overshadow the positives.
