I feel like maybe my specific Hunter irrigation controller has something disabled or something like that. I have the one with the blue buttons, I know that the one with the green buttons is not supported. I have not found any way to go into some sort of settings menu on the irrigation controller.
Here's what I've observed:
When inserting the wifi module I'm not seeing the wifi light go on at all. It's supposed to be amber according to the instructions.
When I try to connect it to the Hydrawise app, it advised to press the button on the module twice and then the light should go on, it doesn't.
This module supports Bluetooth, but fails to connect even though I can see the device in my Bluetooth settings.
When I contacted Hunter, they just send me a PDF of an updated installation guide.

I had the same problem and tried many of the suggestions below. Even had TCL come by to try to get it working, they too were unable. I had enough and took it back. People rely too much on modern technology.
