Simply pair the transmitter with your compatible Hunter controller’s SmartPort connection and gain instant remote access from anywhere on your property.
Control your irrigation zones from your truck, maintenance facility, or while conducting site inspections—saving valuable time and reducing the need to physically visit every controller location for routine adjustments, testing, or troubleshooting.

Key Features & Benefits
Universal Hunter Controller Compatibility
Works seamlessly with Hunter’s SmartPort-enabled controllers including X2, Pro-C, HPC, HCC, ICC2, and ACC2 models. One ROAM LR transmitter can manage multiple receivers installed on different controllers throughout your entire property, making it ideal for large installations with dozens of irrigation zones across multiple buildings or areas.
Manual Override Without Programming Disruption
Set manual run times from 1 to 90 minutes per station without overwriting your existing automatic irrigation schedules. This feature is perfect for testing repairs after service calls, flushing lines to clear debris, demonstrating system functionality to clients, or providing supplemental water during heat waves—all while keeping your regular watering programs completely intact.
Zero Monthly Fees or Subscription Costs
Unlike WiFi-based or cellular irrigation control systems that require ongoing data plans, the ROAM LR uses license-free LoRa radio frequency technology. You pay once and own it forever with no recurring monthly fees, no annual contracts, no data plan requirements, and no connectivity headaches. This makes the ROAM LR a cost-effective long-term investment for any irrigation operation.
Weather-Resistant Professional Construction
Both the handheld transmitter and controller-mounted receiver feature IP55 weatherproof ratings, ensuring reliable operation in dust, rain, mud, and harsh outdoor field conditions. The ergonomic transmitter runs on 4 AAA batteries (included) for portable convenience, while the receiver operates on standard 24 VAC power supplied directly from your irrigation controller.
Quick and Easy Installation
The receiver module connects to your existing Hunter controller via the included SmartPort wiring harness and can be mounted up to 50 feet from the controller for optimal signal reception. No complex programming or technical expertise required—setup takes minutes, not hours. The intuitive transmitter interface makes operation simple for any crew member.
Save Time and Reduce Labor Costs
Stop wasting valuable hours driving between controller locations. With 2-mile wireless range, irrigation technicians can troubleshoot problems, test zones, and make adjustments without leaving their vehicle. For a typical 18-hole golf course, this can save 10-15 hours per week in travel time alone, translating to thousands of dollars in annual labor savings.
