Hunter NODE-BT Bluetooth Battery Irrigation Controller — 1/2/4-Station
NODE-BT is a battery-powered, Bluetooth® irrigation controller designed for sites without AC power. Compact and waterproof for installation in valve boxes, greenhouses, medians, and other outdoor locations, NODE-BT brings smartphone control and simple maintenance to remote irrigation zones.
- Available models: 1-, 2- and 4-station fixed versions for small to medium valve layouts.

- Flexible programming: up to 3 independent programs with up to 8 start times per program; run times from 1 second to 12 hours.
- Manual operation & diagnostics: push-button start/stop and LED indicators for active stations and battery status for quick field checks.
- Power: accepts one or two 9‑volt alkaline batteries (installed in the sealed battery compartment) and supports optional solar recharging accessories.
- Solenoid compatibility: requires DC latching solenoids operating at 9–11 V (use P/N 458200); 24 V AC solenoids are not compatible.
- Sensor and wiring support: two sensor inputs (rain/soil), soil probe compatibility, and up to 100' (30 m) of station wiring using 18 AWG with waterproof connectors.
- Installation versatility: mounts to valve solenoids, pipe, flat surfaces, valve boxes, or stakes for fast, cable-free installs.

NODE-BT removes the need to open valve boxes for programming and diagnostics. Its compact, sealed design and app-driven workflow make it a practical choice for temporary irrigation, greenhouses, medians, parks, and any location where AC power is unavailable.
