The Benefits of Bluetooth

Instead of relying on manual dials or buttons, a Bluetooth sprinkler controller allows you to program and manage your sprinkler system from a smartphone or tablet. Bluetooth irrigation controllers are ideal for residential properties where you're often on-site, where you can make adjustments from the comfort of your home. Keep in mind that Bluetooth controllers do not necessarily have Wi-Fi, so their range isn’t infinite. However, Bluetooth water timers are often less expensive than Wi-Fi smart controllers, while still offering plenty of advanced features.

Bluetooth Controller FAQs

Can I use any controller for my sprinkler system?

Most controllers are pretty flexible, but they must be compatible with your specific setup. For example, your controller needs to support at least as many irrigation zones as your system uses. Also, make sure that the power requirements and valve types match your sprinkler system.

Can I use my Bluetooth sprinkler controller when I’m away from home?

No, you cannot use a Bluetooth sprinkler controller when you’re away from home, unless you’re within Bluetooth range. A Bluetooth sprinkler valve’s range is typically about 30 to 100 feet. If you leave home and want to control your system remotely, a Wi-Fi sprinkler controller is a better option, as it allows access through the internet from anywhere.

Do Bluetooth sprinkler valves require Wi-Fi or an internet connection?

No, Bluetooth sprinkler valves do not require Wi-Fi or an internet connection to operate. Instead, they connect directly to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, allowing you to control watering schedules and manage zones through a dedicated mobile app. This makes Bluetooth sprinkler timers ideal for places without Wi-Fi, such as farms or remote areas.
