The X2 builds on Hunter’s proven X-Core platform and brings optional Hydrawise connectivity for automated, water-saving schedules. Designed for outdoor installations, it combines a familiar dial interface with modern smart capabilities when you add the plug‑in WAND module (sold separately). Whether you keep it as a stand-alone 6-zone controller or connect it to Hydrawise, the X2 simplifies routine irrigation with diagnostics, backup memory, and features to reduce runoff and overwatering.

How does this controller save water while keeping plants healthy?

The Hydrawise platform uses local weather data to adjust irrigation run times, and the X2 includes on‑board tools like Cycle & Soak to prevent runoff. Together these features reduce unnecessary watering without manual intervention.

• Cycle & Soak to split long run times and avoid runoff
• Seasonal Adjust for rapid global run‑time changes
• Delays between stations to accommodate soil absorption

Can I control multiple controllers and check system status remotely?

Yes — adding the WAND Wi‑Fi module connects the X2 to the Hydrawise cloud so you can manage many controllers from a single app or desktop. Real‑time status, fault alerts, and remote schedule changes make maintenance more efficient.
