Description
The B-hyve Pro App provides landscape irrigation professionals with an easy way to manage and operate B-hyve Pro controllers from anywhere with the convenience of a smart phone or tablet. With the intuitive layout and design of the app, it is fast and easy to connect to any B-hyve Pro controller through WiFi or, if WiFi is not available, directly through Bluetooth right at the timer location. Once connected to WiFi, B-hyve can be set up in smart mode to assist in delivering the right amount of water to plants, saving clients water and money.
This is the companion App for award-winning B-hyve Pro irrigation controllers. Homeowners can download the non-Pro version of the B-hyve App at no charge.
***KEY FEATURES***
WIFI and BLUETOOTH – Because WiFi is not always available on a job site, the B-hyve app and controller allow you to set up and operate the controller using Bluetooth. Once a WiFi connection is established at a site, the owner of the WiFi router can provide a permission code that enables off-site management of the controller from anywhere in the world.
EPA- AND SWAT-CERTIFIED – Having passed the rigorous EPA WaterSense and SWAT certifications, the B-hyve Pro Controller with Smart Watering is certified to use water more efficiently and is eligible for rebates in many cities or water districts across the country.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING – You can set the controller to water in two basic ways: 1) on a fixed schedule, such as during a new landscape grow-in period; 2) with Smart Watering, and let local weather conditions determine the schedule.
MULTI-SITE MANAGEMENT – You can manage and control an unlimited number of B-hyve controllers from the convenience of one application. Once the timer is connected to the Internet, secure access can be shared in a number of different combinations using an app-generated code.
CATCH CUPS – With various water savings options integrated right into the app, there are multiple ways to achieve optimum water savings with the B-hyve Pro Timer. In addition to Smart Watering, it incorporates the award-winning catch-cup feature right into the app to deliver up to 25% more water savings over other smart controllers.
ALEXA – Works with Alexa. For a list of Alexa commands visit bhyve.hydrorain.com.

Ratings and Reviews
Great Improvement (B-Hyve 6stn)
The app is excellent. Has been and still is excellent.
The problem with the B-Hyve is the controller itself. The older, 3 program controller was a disaster. Absolute piece of garbage. I had this model and swore black and blue that I would never ever buy another Orbit product. In the end I threw this out. Wouldn’t give it to my worst enemy.
I relented and purchased the latest 4 program B-Hyve 6 station controller. Well, what a difference a change makes. This model has superior wi-fi connectivity which was the problem with the older 3 program model.
Looks as if the newer 4 program model has had major surgery to the hardware and software.
Unfortunately for Orbit, the damage has been done with the 3 program controller. They should not have done their R&D on the public.
B-Hyve Tap Timer reasonable but not perfect
A year or so ago I installed two B-Hyve tap timers connected to a single hub as per instructions. Then I opened Settings->B-hyve Account->Alexa Device and find that I can only connect just one of my two B-Hyve tap timers to Alexa. No doubt because the link to Alexa is connected to the hub, not the individual B-Hyve tap timers. So I’m restricted to commanding Alexa to switch on or off a single timer when I have two. Which one do I choose? I think this is a breach of consumer law when the packaging says that its Alexa compatible and that the hub handles multiple Tap timers.
Next, after installing the B-Hyve app a year ago, I find that the only app on the Apple store is for the B-Hyve Pro, which I have to buy again (low cost but that’s not the point). I can’t see where there is any difference between the old and the new
As simple watering system management tools, they appeal. It’s a pity about the small stuff
Great System
Easy to install, love that I can control it anywhere in the world via the internet! Would definitely recommend this product (and app)
