Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: NODE-BT-100-LS
Product Overview
The Hunter NODE-BT-100-LS is a single-station, battery-powered irrigation controller with Bluetooth smartphone programming. It is the controller-only configuration and does not include a valve solenoid. The compact waterproof unit is intended for isolated irrigation valves, gardens, medians, greenhouses, and other locations where running AC power or controller wire is difficult.
Schedules can be created and adjusted through the NODE-BT mobile app while the user is within Bluetooth range. The controller also provides manual push-button operation for quick station testing in the field. One or two 9V alkaline batteries power the controller and a separately purchased compatible DC-latching solenoid.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
A solenoid is not included. Pair the controller with a compatible 9–11 VDC latching solenoid. For Hunter plastic irrigation valves, use the Hunter 458200 DC-latching solenoid where compatible. Standard 24 VAC solenoids will not operate from NODE-BT. Use waterproof connections and follow Hunter's wire-size and distance limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does LS mean?
The NODE-BT-100-LS is the single-station controller-only configuration. It does not include the DC-latching solenoid.
Does it need Wi-Fi?
No. It communicates locally with a compatible smartphone through Bluetooth.
What else is required?
A compatible DC-latching solenoid and one or two 9V alkaline batteries are required for operation.
Why Buy the Hunter NODE-BT-100-LS from Big Frog Supply?
This controller-only model is the practical choice when a compatible DC-latching solenoid is already installed or will be selected separately. Big Frog Supply links the matching Hunter solenoid and clearly distinguishes the LS package from the NODE-BT-100 kit that includes one.
