Hunter BTT Reviews

This is our second year using this timer at our vacation home and now we have plants dying from lack of water because we have to go through the many steps to reset it. It works for a day then the next day it stops working again. We went through replacing batteries twice in one week with brand new Duracells only to not get connectivity after a day. We reset everything again, got ot to run manually, checked it 12 hours later at its normal run time and it worked. We went home thinking it was working on May 13th. I am back today only to bone dry soil and shrubs and trees brown from lack of water. Went through all the steps again but cannot get it to work at all. Uninstalled and reinstalled app then redid steps. Still does not work. All it says is check batteries cause it does not find the timer. Changed batteries still nothing. Will have to find a more reliable timer. I want something that lasts more than one watering season and does not cost me me my expensive shrubs.

Zero stars. Bluetooth never connects, even when you’re standing right by it. Sometimes it will say it’s running when it isn’t. I have lost a lot of expensive plants because I thought it was on while I was away from the house but it wasn’t. Even HunterBTT just isn’t available to use sometimes. Just a blank white screen. Waste of money. A cheap manual timer would be not only more affordable but easier and more reliable.

HunterBTT was always slow but since update (few months ago) HunterBTT almost never works and gives white blank screen. Work around is to turn airplane mode and turn bluetooth on then launch HunterBTT

Unfortunately, HunterBTT no longer works as it once did. Now, it's useless to schedule daily watering cycles for flowerbeds or other garden areas. I'm highly disappointed in the software support for resolving this from a company specializing in irrigation. I am now looking at different brands for all my irrigation needs.

The Bluetooth range is very limited. It cannot turn on an outside faucet from inside the house. It loses connection very easily and does not reconnect very easily. To reconnect, I must turn off my iPhone by clearing memory and then find unit once I’ve turned on my phone again. It does not hold the schedule or watering duration data in the unit so if the connection is lost the water does not turn on as scheduled. To use the timer I must keep my phone on inside my car which is about 6 feet from my water faucet. In short this is a very disappointing and useless purchase. I’ve purchased a b-hyve which allows me to at least turn on my outside faucet from inside my house and program more schedules. Had I known the limitations or poor design or poor app operation of the Hunter BTT, I would not have purchased it. Btw I purchase a second unit to see if the first unit was a dud. Unfortunately the second unit is as bad as the first purchase.

HunterBTT went from bad to unusable. Previously the UI was from 15 years ago but now… What is going on with the white screens? Please hire a high school student to create something that actually works.

after a few yrs of service which was great this no longer works . i have not changed anything, but HunterBTT suddenly cannot find the timer. batteries are fully charged. deleted app and reloaded several times. i was going to get another one but seeing the newer reviews, will look for a different irrigation timer. it is too bad this is the height of summer and the garden is bone dry without the 5 am drip going. i hope my garden doesn’t die. i have IOS. Hunter fix HunterBTT !!!

I went to open my Hunter BTT app this spring and the whole interface is white after the startup screen. I’ve restarted my phone, deleted and reinstalled HunterBTT , let it load for 30 minutes to see if the white screen resolves. Nothing is working. Fortunately, the physical timer seems to be working; however I would really like to change the schedule and HunterBTT is the only way to do that. I’m close to looking for a different hose timer. It worked perfectly for the two years before this.

I have 2 of the 2 zone and 2 of the 1 zone devices and they are all over the place.

I’ve set the times on the single timers but when I go to change the time and hit save it just goes back to the time I originally set.

On the 2 zone timers it’s all waked out. They don’t even turn on unless we do it manually. The front one I just tried to set on a cycle timer, but when I tried that on the back one it doesn’t even allow me to set it. I click on the cycle and the page is blank. But most importantly they don’t even turn on and I’m tired of messing with it.

App works but bluetooth has a terrible range (about 10 feet). App needs to “search” for available controllers and “connect” to it EVERY time you open HunterBTT . And then if you dare to move an inch, you’ll lose connectivity. The developer says this is updated frequently…it’s not! Scheduling is unnecessarily complicated. I would not have bought the controller if I had experienced HunterBTT first.

For the past few days HunterBTT is not showing anything. When I try and open HunterBTT it’s just a white blank screen. I’ve deleted HunterBTT 4 different times and reinstalled it. That worked a couple times. It’s not working any more. When it does work, it works great. When it starts working again, I will change the star rating. Hopefully the schedule still works with out HunterBTT working.

HunterBTT used to work better but now it does not give me accurate information. Everytime I try to use it I get different last water times and my scheduled zones don’t ever seem to run per the schedule. HunterBTT is great when it works but it rarely works. This cause me a lot of headaches since I have a large property and can’t constantly be going out and around to see if things are being watered on time. I’m afraid of loosing plants and trees on a regular basis.

The usability is great when it fictions, but most of the time I can’t connect to the BTT valve because it crashes every to time it tries to connect. HunterBTT is either half baked or needs more updates.

I really like the product but HunterBTT crashes more often than it doesn’t. You can still manually press the button on the timer to turn the water on but for scheduling changes (which is the only reason you would buy one), you need HunterBTT - also having a hard time finding a way to contact Hunter about it.

I don’t have a password set to save time, showing me where to go to set a password every time I connect just makes me mad.

Love the BTT!!!!!! I have a big vegetable garden that I water off the hose bib. The BTT is a lifesaver. You said your times and days to water and there’s nothing to do except change the batteries.

Got the two station and works great for a hose and small garden application. Controller connected to app first try, app is easy to understand, and the manual on feature for the controller is a great add-on!!

This is a very convenient way to water my raised garden beds. Hooked it up to a drip line with an adapter and now I can do all the watering through HunterBTT . No more pulling the hose out. Love it!

Simple to use and very reliable. HunterBTT works great and the Bluetooth range with my IPhone is great!

I have a number of flower pots on my patio and the BTT saves me the time of having to water by hand every few days.
