Hunter ROAM-KIT Sprinkler Remote Controller, Works with X-Core, Pro-C, PCC, I-Core, Acc Irrigation Timers, 1000 ft Range, 128 Addresses, SmartPort Compatible, Complete Kit

One of the best investment I have made. This equipment is saving a lot of time and effort.

Hunter ROAM kit arrived as promised. As advertised, I needed to provide 4 AA batteries and print the manual. Otherwise, it was a new product that works as expected for $60 less than “new”. A great value.

So far, so good. Our sprinkler guy retired. This helps getr done.

1. No mounting hardware for the receiver included. The instructions suggest using a threaded PVC "T". Also suggests Hunter P/N 258200 mounting bracket. Neither included nor any other mounting hardware. The receiver MUST be mounted somewhere, so why not include a way to mount it... even if you have to charge $1 more? I know, a PVC "T" is inexpensive. But I still had to drive to HD to get one plus had to buy brackets to attach the PVC to the garage wall.2. 3, long loose wires on the Smart-Port connector.... untidy, sloppy, lame... if you end up mounting the receiver somewhere besides on the PVC conduit for the controller wires. (Within the allowed 6-ft from the controller, of course.) Should have had a sheath to keep them neatly together.Operation of the remote didn't seem intuitive, and I didn't think the instructions were as helpful as they could be... so I had to fumble with it for a bit. So... here's a quick summary to get you started.1. When transmitter powers on (Mode button), it comes up on the "active station"... which is the last one you ran before you turned it off. (When started for the first time, defaults a "Station 1, Pgm A")2. Next, hit the Mode button 2 times to bring up the setting for "number of stations". That's the number of stations this controller is going to operate. If you have 6 stations, select "6" and then hit no buttons for 10 seconds until the screen changes.3. Now you can scroll (up/dn arrows) your station numbers and program letters. They will be 1-2-3-4-5-6, PgmA, PgmB, PgmC. You can also scroll the opposite direction.4. When a station is running, you do not need to hit the "off" button (left arrow) before advancing to the next station. Just select the station/program you want next and hit the "on" button (right arrow). The prior station will turn itself off before the newly selected station starts.In spite of my annoyance about Hunter "cheaping out" by not including mounting hardware and not sheathing the wiring for the SmartPort, this is a 5-star device. RECOMMENDED!(My neighbor has a 24-station sprinkler system. I told him, "you should get one of these".

Works as advertised. The receiver needs to be mounted vertically away from any steel doors. Range is good through 2 concrete walls at about 25m. Controls simple, excellent product.

ROAM Stopped working. The receiver beeps 4 times, but the controller will not pair with the receiver. Bought twice. Waste of time and money.Garbage!

Works great! When yard guys are working on the sprinkler system I don’t have to go out on my Hydrawise app and operate any of the 22 zones. They can do can do it with the Roam. Works great anywhere on my 1.5 acre lot. The receiver is located in the garage.

Great addition to my Hunter timer. The range seems to be really good. The install and setup were straightforward. No complaints. I would purchase it again.
