As someone in Australia who installs irrigation full time. Out of close to 100 that I have installed I have never had a connection issue with my phone. I have found that batteries need to have a strong charge for the bluetooth connection. Batteries that are running very low on charge will still run the irrigation but you will have issues with bluetooth connection.

Absolute garbage. As others have mentioned look elsewhere. New batteries, refresh, delete reinstall, VPN off/on, does not matter. Connection rate is below 10% and less than 3 foot distance. We have had this unit and app for over a year now. PS, to the app developer or Hunter don't bother with the "please contact" drivel. Unless you can send a new unit with no problems, I have and will continue to let others know don't bother with this waste of money. Bravo Actual out.

Had some teething problems initially after the app insisted on downloading the FW. However, after two agonizing hours of hard resets and app reinstalls, it finally seems to work. At least I can start and stop zones, set up schedules. I have also connected rain and soil sensors, so shall need to wait and see how it runs on auto. So far so good.

I agree with Andrew. This is a terrible app and/or product. I purchased 3 Node BT for my apartment grounds. As of today, I can only connect with 1 of the 3 controllers. I've spent hours trying to connect, uninstalling the app, reinstalling the app, restarting my phone and reading the support documents on the website. As of today, I can still only connect to 1 of 3. Hunter makes lots if great products, but this is NOT one of them.

This is a terrible app with a terrible product. I'm a contractor and thought this would ease the pain of having to get out of the truck to access several battery operated controllers. First of all they never connect. Second, they never download the firmware. Third, the batteries last a tenth of the time as the regular nodes. Forth, when it doesnt connect you are having to open the case everytime and reset the controller after taking the batteries out! Don't waste your time

Today I installed a Hunter NODE-BT for the first time. The controller and the app performed without a hitch. Seeing a review rating of 1.6 had me worried. I was delighted to find I had no problems. I've buried my controller underground and really love not having to dig it up every time to change a setting. My advice: give yourself about 30 min to allow for software upgrades and configure it before installing it on your irrigation system. UI ok but could be much more intuitive.
