X2 Outdoor Irrigation Controller: Hunter Wand Wi-Fi Module.

The WAND is a convenient plug-in device that allows for online irrigation management capabilities for any Hunter X2 controller. With the WAND, you can utilize the Hydrawise smart irrigation management software, which makes use of accurate local weather forecasts to optimize watering schedules and provide reports on water usage and savings. This device gives you complete control over your irrigation system, accessible from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Additionally, you have the ability to grant access and permissions to your irrigation contractor.

To ensure a successful setup, make sure that your device remains connected to the HunterX2XXX Wi-Fi network during the SAP setup. It's possible that a 'No Internet' popup may appear, in which case you should select 'Continue Without Internet' to stay connected to the WAND. If you encounter any issues during the Wi-Fi setup, you can try forgetting the saved HunterX2XXX Wi-Fi network in your device's Wi-Fi settings, then restarting the setup process. If problems persist, uninstall the WAND, re-insert it, and then restart the Wi-Fi setup.

This simple plug-in device not only enables online irrigation management through Hydrawise for any X2 controller, but it also provides valuable controller status updates and alerts for faulty wiring. By receiving notifications of necessary maintenance, you can address issues before they lead to costly landscape damage.

The standard programming of the WAND allows for three independent programs, each with up to six start times and a maximum run time of 24 hours. If you already have a schedule set up on Hydrawise, you can easily copy and paste it to any X2 controller for quick and convenient setup.

In cases where Wi-Fi is unavailable or the controller is difficult to access, you can use your smartphone as a manual remote control. The WAND is also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Control4, and HomeSeer. It offers flexible setup options, including Bluetooth Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi direct, and WPS push-button connection.

Please note that the WAND is only compatible with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi routers, specifically those supporting 802.11 b/g/n 20 MHz. It does not support 5GHz routers. The device is compatible with various security protocols, including WPA/WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, TLS, and SSL.
