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.

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.

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.

33 zones are a lot to manage when you cannot be in a zone and at the box at the same time. I was concerned about range as we're in a stucco home with a metal roof, and I have zones all around, including a couple 600 feet away at the road. We have had no problems and the investment has saved us many times it’s cost.

These things are simple devices and cost alot of money for what they do. Fine, it is what it is. What is so poor however, is the build quality. I had my first unit last one day. Perfect the first day and then would not operate without a reset each time. I have a second unit just delivered, I hope this will be better. Cummon Hunter, sort it out!

I have to give this item one star because zero is not an option.Installation was beyond easy. But then the thing would not work. Period. And the remote was anywhere from six feet to zero inches from the receiver. Yes, I actually tried it with the antenna touching each other. Nothing.Ran through the troubleshooting guide in the manual to no avail. Hunter has only email support and they did not even respond to my inquiry. Buy at your own risk.

Fantastic remote and works perfectly. Easy to use and saves a ton of time when turning on your sprinkler in the spring or shutting down in the fall. You can go zone by zone and check all the sprinkler heads without having to run back and forth to the controller. Also great if you just want to run one zone that is particularly exposed to the sun at the end of the day without having to set up a program in your controller. The only challenge as other reviews noted is that it does not come with all you need to mount the receiver. There are several videos on YouTube that show you some options and there are other options in the Amazon reviews. I did not want to rewire the whole controller box to mount it on the pvc that comes out of the bottom. I opted to mount it on the top of the box which made the wiring easy and also put it in a better position for reception. I made sure to put a rubber gasket on the mount to help with water getting in the controller. Overall a great product.

Works perfectly. I have 24 zones and this remote controller allows me to monitor, identify and make any adjustments to any issues that arise with my sprinkler system. Well worth the investment.

Expensive gadget that does very little. Basically just start and stops the irrigation. No remote programming of zones or manipulating anything current program remotely.For cheaper price it would be just a nice to have, but at CAD 200 it is rip off bordering with scam.

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".

I have a Hu tee Pro C with the old style remote control set up. It worked, but the range of the remote was truly terrible. I read about this Humter remote set up, and based on all of the solid reviews decided to give it a shot. I am so happy I purchased the ROAM KIT. Awesome in every regard from ease of set up, to using the remote. The remote comes set up so that stations run a 2 minute program as a default, but you can easily increase the run time from the remote. The changes you make to the run to,e from the remote will not change the run times programmed on your controller set up. Finally the range..A+++..I can now control my zones from the furthest outside corners of my yard, front and back, without any issues, So very pleased with this unit, and you will be too.
